That knife is a work of art.

I would like to spend a few hours in that work shop looked a great place. I'd also like to try one of those dog head hammers , love no idea if they are available of the shelf or if you have to make your own.

Nice!

How did he get that Damascus pattern to change direction and match up perfectly with the tang? I missed that step.

Beautiful blade.

Give him a bell. He's based in Welling in Kent and he runs courses. Just google Bushfire Forge. Nice chap actually.

Good point, I didn't think of doing the obvious. I've just had had a look on his site and they are a bit too expensive for me to justify at the moment. Maybe next year or I may have a go at making one.
