It was raining today and I thought I'd clean up my mess from the last couple of knives I have made. When I was sweeping the floor I found a damascus drop from the other day when I cut out a knife. I just couldn't bring myself to throw it away. I thought "I believe I can make something out of that and this is what I ended up with. When I bought the Black Ash Burl scales the other day there were three of them instead of two so I had an odd ball piece of wood too. I think I am going to make a inside the pocket leather sheath with a pocket clip and use it as a non-folding pocket knife.
Sorry.... picture is worse than normal.

That's a great looking little knife you made there.

For sale?

I love the size!!!

This one won't be for sale. I'd like to try it out and actually see how functional it is before I sell any. The bad part will be that they will still be fairly costly because other than the actual amount of materials used, everything else is the same. It is still time consuming and a lot of work.
Let me make the sheath and check it out and then I will see about making some for sale.

Good looking little knife right there.

sweet

I would be interested in one of those, cant wait to see how the sheath with the pocket clip turns out.

Nice work

nice

Thanks guys. Here a better picture for size comparrison:

Great looking knife. Just bought some grips for my 1911 that are Ash Burl. If you ever end up selling these, I would love to get one.

I like it, perfect for the desk to use as letter opener.

I vote for you to make more and sell them!

I am with that, Im a fan

That's just cool. I have a pile of Damascus pieces that I just can't throw away too. Even the small pieces can be used for something. I've made a few crosses for necklaces for friends.

I will take one!!! Just tell me where to send some money.

Let me get a sheath made it and try it out. Then I will figure out a price.

That is a cool looking knife. Good job!

Nice little EDC. Like the scales.

I know you're not selling this one, but if you start making them what are you thinking on price.

How do you mark your blades? Acid?

I am going to make a couple tomorrow with sheaths and I will be able to be more comfortable putting a price on them at that time. I was discussing this issue with another maker and we both agreed that the labor is still almost the same. The only thing to save money on is materials. Still a heck of a lot of work goes into making one.
I will tell you this though, almost everyone that has handled it is on my back wanting one done. It is a very cool little kniffe. If I can get the sheath right on it where it fits inside the pocket and with a short leather strap to make it easy to get out of the sheath it will be fantastic.

I just block that area off when doing the etch on the damascus.
It is actually a reverse of what I do on a stainless blade. On the damascus it is raised up and on stainless it is recessed.

Great knife sir....please keep us updated...I am also interested....

I know an ol boy who will most likely order several at once if the price is reasonable
