Our sons friend is a fledgling knife maker. Think he has a future?

Thanks for the compliments guys. The mammoth folder was actually just finish up last week.

[hipower]

That folder is freakin' awesome!! I love it!

Think he'd be interest in selling it or making a similar one to sell?

[Guest suprablaski]

I'm the maker, it was a custom ordered piece and is already with it's new owner. I take custom orders but be warned I work at a slow speed on customs lol. That folder took me about two months mostly due to buffer throwing it and destroying the first handle I put on it.

Did you forge out the damascus for the blade? And with that are the blades forged or ground out? Very nice work

Those are very nice knives.

The blade was damasteel a Swedish damascus. i dont forge yet, i ordered the damascus bar and used stock removal from there. i grind and profile on a Bader B3, and all handle and bolster work is done by hand with files. I also have to etch the steel in acid to reveal the pattern, then hand sand and buff, re-etch and repeat.

They look good. Thats a nice freaking grinder. Ive eyed those up before, maybe someday lol.

I like the fixed blade. It looks wicked!!

[Guest suprablaski]

It was actually just a prototype for a blade my brother wanted me to make him which had more filework and a small horn shaped pommel in the tang
