Description

Good day,

The post apocalyptic barbed wire damascus knife presented earlier now has a big brother 
I have attached additional in the making w.i.p. pictures, because I heard that some of you folks like these kind of stuff.
The blade has been forged of old barbed wire, two thin layers of L6 and a thick 5160 core.
The knife's total length is 29,5 cm, the blade is 17 cm long, 36 mm wide and 5 mm thick. So it is bigger and longer than the first one .
I made the handle from the same components as the other one: antler and leather.
Used the same natural veg tanned thick leather for the sheath with hemp rope to make it more "authentic" (if there is such a thing, speaking of post apocalypse?! and with an extra beaten up look to make it appear more rugged.

Its price is 160 euro. Paypal is accepted

Sold!

Beautiful steel & the treatment you gave to the sheath really adds a lot for me.  Really great stuff!

Interesting pattern. Have you never put chainsaw blades or small ball bearings on the billet? That gives quite weird shapes.

I used chainsaw a few times. You can check it out here: hellize.deviantart.com/art/Mot…

But ball bearings forgeweld quite hard, so I decided not to suffer with it by hand hammering. Maybe I will try it when I have a press or something
