Damascus blade with Skokomish River flower jasper. I think this is one of the finest stones I have seen in a long time. Takes a super polish.    SOLD Thanks for looking, Ken P.S. Forgot to take pix of filework. |

I love damascus blades, this one reminds me of Psilomelane.
Nice work Ken!

I'm not into knives but that is very cool. I love the folded metals. Never heard of that jasper before. Great job on that.

I like it very much. I wandered why are you stuck on foldable knives only, glad to see you're not.

If I can call it beautiful without offending, that is just what I think it is! I love the way it blends so well!

Love it! That jasper really matches up well with the damascas steel.

What an K-A Damascus blade: the whorls are just right with the notching along the tang; and mixed with the splotchy reds and the crazing, browned, ocher of the Jasper it looks like something a berber might carry. Helluva knife! If I had a motley of different knifing/knapping materials & actually knew how to craft knives if go for something like this: 1st Knife: Hilt: Botryoidal, Big Sur Jade with Moldavite (Tektite) insets Blade: Glorieta meteorite Guard: Glorieta meteorite Pommel: Jet, cored with an ugly terminated Prase Quartz 2nd Knife: Hilt: Jet with Sarawak Amber inlay Blade: Gibeon Meteorite Guard: Gibeon Meteorite Pommel: Jet coupled with a triad of a: Carbonado Diamond (a Cryptocrystalline Diamond) center, to the left a Bastnasite from Pakistan & to the right a Camaleño, Cantabria, Spain, Sphalerite. Just wishful thinking though  Also: Aren't these two of the best looking knives you've ever seen?       |
