AUTINE 1 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hi, my name is Matiss Nimanis. I`m a hunter and a profesional blacksmit from small contry Latvia in the north of Europe. As a intoduction to myself i would like to share a shot story abot my second pasion - blacksmiting, and how it relates with hunting. From my experience as a hunter i noticed the importance of a good knife in ewerydays hunters life. So I started a search for my own ultimate hunters knife. To make this story short I`ll say that after a copple month of searching and testing diferent kind of blades realize that the best way to get a knife you want is to make it by yourself. This is how me and my brother, well nown as a good carpenter tools maker John Neeman started to work on our own hunting knifes designs. So here is some pictures of our job: Currently there are two knives for your evaluation. Elegant handmade Damascus steel hunting knife and multipurpose wildlife knife. Both are Damascus pattern welled consisting 240 layers of handmade Damascus steel combining carbon and nickel steel. Handle of hunting knife is made of rosewood, leather, brass and stainless steel, while modest but functional handle of wildlife knife is made of rosewood. Hardness: Rockwell 62-58 HRC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
