1075 steel chef knives - one French style, one sheepsfoot - with bamboo handles

1075 steel sheepsfoot chef knife with kirinite handle

1095 / 15N20 alloy damascus blade - 96 layers. French chef knife style with kirinite handle.

Ork style blade as a Lord of the Ring theme. Rough bone handle with battle damage scars marked into the blade.

These were interesting blades to make. They were done to raise money for a military charity - Gold Star Teen Adventures - as the first place prizes for a shooting competition. They were forged from I-beam steel from the Twin Towers. A cut out of the steel can be seen above them.

This was done as a display piece for a gallery.  Its a Japanese style hammer with a small anvil and finished tanto blade. The imagery was one where the smith had just finished and had set down his work and tools to rest. 1075 steel with clay temper.
