Title: Couple I just had photographed...
Post by: Doug Campbell on May 05, 2011, 10:24:00 PM

I sent these two out to Jim Cooper to have shot and just got the email pics from him. I built them for a show we're having up here next month but emailed pics to a guy over in WA who's bought a couple of knives in the past. They wont be going to the show, he bought them both...   :thumbsup:  

Thought you might like to see them.

My first sub-hilt, 6" random damascus, 416 fittings and some of the best koa you'll ever run across.

This is 5" of twist damascus, stainless fittings and a little piece of elk antler.

Doug,

Those are so beautiful they make me wish I had seen the pictures before the guy in WA did.    :saywhat:   Just incredible!  They absolutely blow me away. That twist Damascus is gorgeous.

Dang Doug, those are just it.  I can't decide which is my favorite.

Just decided, both are.

Wow-really great looking knives.  What kind of steels did you use for the sub-hilt?

Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate it. I made the damascus in both knives from 1080 and 15N20.

I love the combo shot Doug.
Where on Earth did you come across Elk antler?   ;)

I guess now you can go back to Hawaii and get some more Koa!

Really awesome work there buddy.

I think that is one of the best looking sub-hilts I've ever seen. I love the contrast between the dark grey damascus and the koa.  Just awesome.
