steel and leather
#159385 - 24/04/10 04:15 AM

here is a pair of knives which i might have shown before,
but now i´ve gotten the sheaths nearly finished... just the final moulding and colouring of them to go..

first there is a recurve in A2
it is 270 x 40 x 6,5mm and a blade 142mm
skales are of black paper mikarta and the blade has a coat of matt grey duracoat.

next is a little one in Damasteel
it is 167 x 31 x 2,5mm with a blade 83mm
scales are mammoth

depending on the effekt i want from the damascus i use
different acids,
either sulphuric acid or hydrochloric acid

this time i used hydrochloric it´s gentler to the steel..

Very impressive RSK. I am a leatherworker and appreciate your knife sheaths, they really finish off those beatifull knives.
