Damascus Native

Scott finished a Damascus Native yesterday. Check it out.

He fine finished most of the blade and sharped the clip,

but he left the hammer marks on the flats for a nice rustic look.

He also blued the spine to darken it . . .

. . . which offset the black palm handle nicely.

The Native is a great camp knife that feels wonderful in the hand.

Carolina Collection Prototypes

These blades are prototypes for the Carolina Collection knives we plan to offer in the Village of Yesteryear (VOY) at the NC State Fair in October. Scott is one of 75 craftsman invited to show traditional crafts in the VOY. Featuring a hand-forged guard, rustic textured finish, and maple handles, this is Scott's ode to the blacksmith knife of yore.
