An exceptionally well executed piece, Craig!! Thank for the look! I was daydreaming there for a minute

Craig.....that is a good one.....a very good one.

Thanks everyone. Here is a little one from the first part of this year, I missed getting the pictures up.

3 1/8 closed, damascus I made from 1075 and 15N20, integral 416 liners and bolsters with mammoth ivory.

Craig, I'm running out of words to express your stunning work. So glad I was fortunate to
run across your knives when I did and now to see your progress as an icon of traditional knife making.
I love both of these and I'm not damascus lover, but this piece is SUPER!

Now that one takes the cake! I love everything about it. The way the twist pattern shows on the spring is stunning. Having used 1075 and 15N20 as mono steel for knives I have considered the mix for a billet. It does have nice contrast. Is there a reason you chose 1075 rather than 1084 or 1095 for the mix? Hope you don't mind the questions, this one just checks all of the boxes for me.

Thanks for sharing it.
I am looking forward to seeing what you have in KansasCity.

That knife is a achievement

 

[Craigb]

Thanks again everyone.

Chris, I had some 1/8 inch 15N20 I wanted to try with some 1/4 inch. At the time I only had 1/4 in 1075 so I talking to a MS about it and he suggested I give it a try and decide which mix I liked better. It is very close to 1084 when working with it, I can't tell much difference. I just mark the bars to keep up with which steel I used.

Nice work Craig! You don't see a 3 1/8" mammoth, file worked, damascus trapper with all the options every day! Really, 3 1/8"? I love it! And the whittler!!!!!!! Dang!

 

[stezann]

the damascus is great. But when someone is capable of this umbelievable level of fit and finish i just love the monosteel: excellent knives Craig!!!
The subtlieties of the pattern and contours shine also in the closed position

 

[Craigb]

Thank you everyone I really appreciate the complements.

I enjoyed it so much I just had to try that whittler again. This one is for the ICCE show next weekend.

Look at the stag on that knife! Wait it's not just the stag, it's the whole knife!! Very, very nice sir.

 

[Gevonovich]

A work of art from every angle!!!

 

[mike Berkovitch]

Those whittlers are fantastic, great work.

[Jolipapa]

All these knives are pure gems!

 

[jeffsaul]

Another grand slam from the "House of Brewer", i like the stag version even better than the jigged bone.

In my scope I don't see many makers that can top your skills, sure there are bigger names, but the craftsmanship
of your knives shines as brightly as ANYONE.

Best of luck next week at ICCE.
