ninjaferret Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Just received this work of art from Fatchap blades. He used to be on here but left so had to contact him through the book of faces. I’ve promised myself one of his knives for about 2 or 3 years now. But all comes to he who waits. What do you think ?

Ultrastu Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Exquisite .I love the Damascus blade .and what is the handle made of .? That guy knows what he is doing Does he make the steel himself .? I dare not ask the price . But I can see the quality and suffice to say I'm sure it's worth every penny .

Gordon R Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Got to admire the work of the brilliant knife makers on here, albeit Fatchap has left (I didn't realise he had left). As a recipient of a Ditchman knife, I can only marvel at the skill involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jall25 Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Amazing ! One of my friends made me one this year from a piece of wood from my own woodland - it properly choked me up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The handle, and i may get this wrong, is wood stone ? I'd have to ask again, my memory is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjaferret Posted December 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Right, the handle is Desert iron wood burl, the blade is 195 layers of 1095 and en58 steel and the pattern is raindrop. And yes it will go to work as thats what knives are for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
