All About Pocket Knives

Here's this little freshly finished damascus steel cutter
It is 28 cm long with a 15 cm long blade, which I forged of 1095, 1.2516 and L6 steels with aprox 260 layers.
The handle is full tang, made of wenge, and exotic wood.

Niiiiiiiiiiice!

Knice blade. Knice handle. Knice sheath. Excellent work!

Looks awesome and I love the sheath detail too.

Beautiful work as usual. I must admit that I do miss the great stories that used to accompany your new knife posts, though

Looks very Dwarven, Hellize. Nice work!

Thanks a lot, guys!
Unfortunately, I rarely have time for myself these days. The lack of stories is one aspect of it

You have to be one of the top knife/sheath artist on the planet.
At least in my opinion.

I'm not sure what universe of dwarves inspire your creations or if they come from your brain, but the sheath looks like something you'd loot from a Dwarven dungeon in an Elder Scrolls game for sure

I'm just a guy with too much time on its hand

Couldn't think of a greater recognition. I was a huge fan of Morrowind and Oblivion

Awesome! I played from Morrowind up through Skyrim and Elder Scrolls Online. Haven't played in a minute but just talking about it has me pondering starting up a new character

Your dwarven weaponry is excellent, but is your blacksmith skill high enough for Daedric
