I have hand hammered a lot of Damascus over the years, and forged a lot of blades on an anvil while doing it. I suffered
a STROKE in 2001, and became disabled. I had to quit forging and grinding until I could get my mobility and muscle control back. My youngest son demanded two years later, that I forge his wedding set, since I had made wedding sets for all my other kids. It took me 6 months to make the cake lifter and knife, and engrave them. Having been a jig designer in the past, I designed and built jigs to allow me to accurately grind again. The pieces here were hammered before my stroke. I now use a press and rolling mill. I have recovered to about 90% and grind just about any type blade necessary. I am in hopes that I can display some of the new damascus soon, in the meantime, I will use a few forged damascus plates that were forged by other knifemakers that I know, and have either purchased or traded for, since they make varieties that I do not currently make.

I've never seen a piece of STEEL that did't want to be a KNIFE !!

I have hammered varied forms of damascus for use in a blade, bolster, or even pattern welded steel for knife jewelry. A custom designed collector knife often gets this extreme treatment. Elk antler, deer antler and bone all can be utilized when custom scrimshaw is specified in the request for custom design. I now often buy the pattern welded steel from other makers that make patterns that I do not. Some of my more extreme drop point knives are often described as spear point. I prefer a hollow ground blade, since it can be sharpened longer than a flat grind. I have a knife grinder set up for both. A damascus bolster really adds beauty to the more primitive profiles, and exotic handle materials can have turquoise inlay. I generally do not use stone inlay in folding knives due to the excessive wear that this type knife receives in normal use... But on special request I will cut any required stones and inlay them.
