English Damascu Knives ,made From Scratch


Recommended Posts

4 damascus knives iv made from scratch and a blank , everything is done by me including making the steel !!! please dont expect the cheap prices of the indian damascus sold on the internet , this is made from the correct metals and heat treated and tempered properly , not made from baked bean tins and car bumpers like the indian shite :)

the prices are stupidly cheap but i have to keep cash flowing !!!!

 

the steels used are 15n20 high carbon nickel steel , try finding this stuff , and if you do you wont like the price , very little is made and pretty much all of it goes to blade smiths .

W2 steel which is what files are made of , very hard steel that makes an outstanding cutting edge.

O1 tool steel again a superb steel with high carbon, also a superb blade material.

and some mild steel in the blank , which has no carbon to speak of but makes and interesting contrast in the pattern and offers some toughness to the blade.

 

ok first up is a small pocket/neck knife , theres enough room on the sheath for a couple of small holes for the lace if you want it and i can send some of the same para cord with the knife if you need .

blade length of "2 ,120 layers of 15n20 and o1 tool steel in a randome pattern make the blade , red stag tine and ebony cap. tooled english 3.5mm calf sheath, wet formed round the knife with brass lanyard tune , i get endless requests for small gutting knives and i hope this will appeal to someone looking for a really nice one ?

£60 which cover first class postage uk only .

second is another stag tine knife with ebony caps , same steel same materials , this one has a rounded spine with a 4" flat ground blade and a little over 4" handle , again tooled leather sheath with belt loop . great knife i really lioke it and this style allways seems popular , i think it has an old world look to it , nice and simple ready to do work, its got a great temper and will stay sharp if you look after it .

 

£120 which also covers first class recorded delivery to the uk .

next is a knife finnished with marlee burr handle ebony cap brass lanyard tube with an interesting blade . forget with 15n20 w2 and o1 , this blade is just a straight laminate i forged it for super hard edge , theres alot of sexy carbon in there and has a deferential temper meaning great effort has gone in to make sure its soft and springy in the spine / tang/and ricasso areas but hard as hell on the cutting edge . tooled leather again with pop stud fastner . great working knife that not to flash to see some hard work and strong enough to be great at the worst cutting jobs you can think of .blade length 4 3/4" long nice slender profiled knife .

£120 which covers uk firstclass recorded delivery .

next is my favorite knife to date , it was the skinner i had for sale the other week , its been re-worked and looks and feels great , got a clip pointed blade flat grind , steel bolster and marlee burr handle , new tooled leather sheath , and i think 200 layer 15n20 and o1 blade .

honestly it feels great , if i was flush i would keep it myself ha ha .

just over the 4" mark on blade length ..

£200 on this bad boy , cover postage to ..

i love that knife

 

 

 

next is an experimental patterened blade i made up , the center of the blade is tool steel , 15n20 and mild steel , i made it as a demonstaration piece for a student that came to learn about making damascus with me at the forge, then the spine and cutting edge are made of W2 and 15n20 as a pattern i was trying to creat as my own , it sort of worked but not as i had palnned , i think i will carry on working with the patter at a later stage ..

 

this one is 3 1/2" in length and would suit a nice handle i think and easy enough for a beginer to finnish , as all the others its properly heat treated and tempered ready to use . £30 posted for this one .

all the best , matt

      Haven't been on here in a while and haven't been shooting in a while so I'm deciding so sell some gear and focus on other things.
      Firstly is my BSA lightning tactical xl in .177 comes with hawke hd 3-9x40 scope, one piece mounts and a LED ray gl2 torch with flip up red filter and buffalo river case.
      Only fault with the gun is the front sling swivel is missing.
      I also have a mad dog growler jacket in APG size medium
      A top gun skeet vest size medium
      British army Dpm smock medium-large
      British army issue jungle boots size 11
      Large jack pike shooting hold all
      British army cam net unsure of size but large enough for a personal hide
      I would like to see £130 for the rifle but I'm open to offers for everything together in a bundle
      Collection only for the rifle but the other items I can post and take paypal payments
      I'm in Warminster Wiltshire
      Thanks
