Title: A couple Damascus Hunters
Post by: kbaknife on March 15, 2011, 01:47:00 PM
Here are two Damascus hunters I will be taking to the Janesville, Wisconsin show next week.
Soon as I have a little lunch I will hot-blue the two blades shown here, as well as the bolster and finial on the Coco-loco recurve.
I appreciated the chatoyance on these two so well I thought you might enjoy them with me.
I'll post up some pics later tonight when the bluing is done.

Beautiful work!
Is the show in Janesville open to the public?
If so, please pm me some info on it.
I'd like to meet you, and hold one of those babies in my hands.

Can I get a 'Boo' on the bluing?

Anyone?

Karl, they're purely stunning as they are. Why not leave 'em au natúral?

Should I strip it off?

Karl you know me... im not a big "hunter" fan, but I really like those especially the top one.   Great work as always.

Just stunning Karl.  The blueing really made the damascus pattern "pop".
