 Scott's been playing with vipers in the shop again.


Two fine finish Cottonmouths above - one dressed in curly walnut and the other in African blackwood. One Cottonmouth Blackout in African blackwood below.


All three bite.

Zebra-Pattern Damascus Zulu

Scott recently forged this Zebra-Pattern Damascus Zulu. Check it out!



This Zulu was a 3-part experiment. Scott had the pattern in his head and just had to try it. He's also been itching to dry dry welds (no flux in this pattern), and the finish is unique as well. The 1080/15n20 pattern welded steel has a matte finish we're calling Tac-mascus. While the pattern is crystal clear, the brighter lines are not shiny so the steel has dark tactical essence that's quite nice.
