Twist Fighter SOLD OUT
This fighter is a salute to the people who taught me. You will see definite influence from my mentor Burt Foster as well as another friend who has had a big influence in my work, Jason Knight. It is forged from a 200+ layer twist pattern with 80CrV2 and 15N20. It has a sturdy 1/4" thick spine with an 8" cutting edge. The Guard is twist from the same bar of Damascus and is sculpted with a unique wave shape where it meets the blade. I made the handle from African Blackwood (which is increasingly rare now because of how hard it is to harvest and import), a Damascus guard and a copper spacer. The spacer is polished copper with coin pattern filing. It is pinned with a peened and polished nickel silver pin. This is a really unique piece of functional artwork. It will come with a handmade leather sheath.
