Bowie damast knife #8





Another nice bowie knife from my Damascus steel knife collection.

Blade thicknes is 5 millimeters, it's lenght is 230 millimeters, it's shaped nearly like a bowie style.
On top, brushed "blade" part isn't quite thin enough, to sharpen it from both sides, so I just left it blunt.

I think it's best way to leavie it like this. I'm just too afraid of my knives, to get hurt or something.

The guard is made from damascus steel also, it's oval shaped, dimensions are 30x50 millimeters(approximately), while it's nearly 8 millimeters thick.

The handle is very close to cilinder shape, but very slightly oval; it's brushed and polished very smooth, so it keeps in hand quite well; no splinters at all..even though, it's not varnished.

The knife sheat is made fom 2 times stiched together swine leather, while the colour is bordoux red(I don't know if it's seen from pictures because of the red background).

Long damast knife with ebony handle #7







So this is a long damascus steel knife with black ebony handle.

The thickness of this blade is 5 millimeters, while the lenght of itself is 230 millimeters. On top of the blade, there are 2 surfaces brushed down, so the knife looks even more beautiful.

The handle is made from black ebony wood and is 115 millimeters long, while the shape of handle itself is very hand-shaped, which means it really fits like a glove!

On the end, there is a damascus steel nut, which keeps the guard, blade and handle together. It is slightly oval and hasn't any particular geometrycal shape, but is well rounded around the shape of ebony handle.

In the middle of the knife, there is a oval hand guard, which has a groove all around it.

It came with !VERY! quality cow-leather sheat, which fits perfectly for it and has safety pin, which keeps knife in it and leather strap, to attach it to belt.

The knife is sharp as fuck!
