Small damascus necker

[Dave Barker]

Ok so i know you lot don't really use this sort of thing, but it was fun to make so have a look.

Here is a small damascus necker that is currently works in progress.

Blade made from 125 layers of 1084 and 15N20 steels is a 60/40 ratio.

Overall length is 4.5 inches.

This one is finished with stabilized curlybirch scales a small brass pin and a 4 mm brass lanyard hole. I am going to make a leather sheath for this one to but have to decide whether i dare try a scandi style og go safe with a pouch... only problem is the pouch would likely be in rawhide leather and i am not sure if that would go.

thanks for your time..

The pic is taken with a mobile phone hence it being blurry, naturally those of you who can fix this please feel free to do so.

Very nice knife Dave, are you planning to make a few for sale or is it a one-off

No the blade is not made by me although i could be about to change that all being well.

The blade is from Idaho and is made by a man called levitt.

Nice guy, answered all the questions i had and the blade arrived within 3 days. The man may not be known ( i found him by accident and only have a mail address for him) but the blade is well made and finisged and the steel mix is as i understand THE mix for damascus. I blade file tested to 57 is hard enough for most things i suggest. Course i am bound to be proved wrong

I wasn't sure as I know you've been talking about making your own.

Nice job but we need better photos!

Its a beauty. All around beauty. I love a utility blade like that. Perfect everyday carry.
