Presentation and
Investment Grade Pieces #1

The "Old Thorny" folder This is my favorite
folder. It is thin [using 3/32 inch blade thickness] and the lines flow well which makes
it easy to use and easier to carry. It is something you can be proud of when you pull it
out of your pocket.
Shown is a mosaic basket weave pattern
blade and bolster with an old ivory handle. The outside spring is file worked with a
pleasing pattern and the inside of the lockbar and spring is file worked and has a 24kt
gold wash on the inside. Which is a pleasant surprise when viewed by you or a friend that
is looking at your knife. My favorite damascus is mosaic patterns in this folder but it
does look very well in ladder pattern. This folder uses only ivory, fluted
or plain, or with bone handle materials. This knife has been referred to as "Pocket
Art" by many clients. This knife is so sharp you could shave a mouse and never
wake him up.

 One-of-a-kind sword.
"Auris Flamma" is the name of this sword. Nothing embodies the romance of
cutlery more than a sword, The blade on this sword is of 4 bar composite Damascus with the
outside fourth bar being a total wrap around the blade. The center bar is 24 layers of
edge grain nickel Damascus. Butt welded to that are two bars of 48 layer left and right
handed twist. The outside bar is 384 layers of random Damascus, also stood on its edge.
All Damascus except the center bar is of 01 and 1045 steels combined. The handle and
sheath are ebony wood. The mountings on the sword are blued steel. The sheath is mounted
in sterling silver. All engraving and gold inlay was performed by Jere Davidson. All
swords will be one-of-a kinds. Hold one of my swords in your hand and gently wave it back
and forth. If you are the chosen one you may see through the thin veil of blue smoke a
castle that requires storming. Just be sure to get permission first. |
Morning Star Mace
This is a morning star mace. A mace is the one with flanges on a stick.
A flail was the round ball on a chain. A Morning Star mace with the ball on a stick. I
occasionally do medival pieces for the collector who wants a taste of the old days. This
is made period correct. I can make you something unusal that you will be proud of.
Forsooth, Just let me know.
Damascus Medieval War Hammer
This was an all Damascus Medieval War hammer based on a 15th century English hammer
that I studied. Most I have looked at was wood handles with metal straps to help
strengthen up the head. There were a few all metal ones like this one. The handle is 48
layers and I twisted the steel one complete revolution left handed and right handed every
3 inches. This gave more strength to the handle while whupping on something. There are a
good many helmets from that time period that had square holes in them from being punctured
from war hammers. At one time the war hammer was the only thing that would pierce armor.
This particular piece won the Best Art Knife award at the Spirit of Steel show in Texas in
2002. Thought you would like to see this. I can also make you a medieval piece. Just email
me.
Rogue
This knife is styled on a classic german hunting sword. Mounted in
german silver, it sports the distinct clam shell guard protector/catch all. The blade is a
classic ladder pattern and the handle is the core of a piece of antique ivory. This is an
outstanding piece. I would like to do a small series of this style with each of them being
different. I would like to engrave the clam shell. If you want one just holler at me.
Tuxedo Fighter
This is technically a fighter. However it is my thinking that it would
be a tuxedo fighter. When you are dressed up to go to town and want to carry a knife would
you want to carry micarta on a knife? This knife sports a fossil walrus ivory handle, and
a large W pattern damascus blade of about 8 1/2". The frame handle has the bolsters
welded it to it and it carries the most engraving I have done on a piece to date. The
engraving is of a chrysanthemum on the bolster and has a background engraved. This knife
won Best Fixed Blade at the SOS show in 2003. This knife was marked NLT number 7
for 2003 as well. An excellent example of a one of a kind knife that you can pass down to
the next generation and let them fight over it.
