Damascus Belt Knife, Hardwood Handle
I bought a batch of Damascus blades on eBay. Some of them are seconds.
The handle scales come from a block of pretty hardwood I found lying around the shop. Copper pins.
Paring Knife
I've wanted a Damascus paring knife. The handle is 1095 sandwiched between Damascus sides in a San Mai construction. I didn't forge it; I bought it off of Etsy. The handle is oak with a black gel stain. It's not as smooth as I like, but it's really comfortable, so I'm not highly motivated to re-do it. The brass bolster is from a piece of plumbing hardware that I hammered flat, drilled and integrated. I like the touch.
