This is a pattern weld steel blade i made recentally, however the patternweld was'nt brilliant - it is "damascus" in look but obviously not true damascus or wootz steel.

-Damascus (pattern weld) blade.
-Oil quenched.
-Tempered

The design of these blades is an extremely old one and has been a traditional blacksmith product for countless generations. Often these peices are refered to as "Blacksmith`s Knives" or in some schools of thought as a "Viking Woman`s Knife"

The real origins to this design are unknown but each blade holds a charachter and build unique to it's creator - no two blades are ever alike.

I did not realize it wasn't wooden, the lines on the metal - Ok wow, learning new things always. Very cool

I saw the thumbnail and thought, "that's a cool metal knife". Then I clicked on it and thought, "no, it's a cool wood knife". Then I read the description and realized it's an awesome metal knife that looks like wood. Great work!

Cool knife bro, I've seen one of your works before, you have talent and skill. Why does it look like wood though?

Thanks! - Its a type of metal that is made by layering different types of steel together and forge welding them together, each layer creates a line in the metal and when youve finished working you use a mildly acidic solution to bring out the lines and with that you get a very wood like figuring and slight colour tone.
