Western Cut Damascus Folder

JBrandvik · Aug 8, 2007

Here's another folder I decorated for the wife. This was a real departure for me in that I didn't use the V gravers. Except for the decorations around the "L" this one was cut with flats. The wriggle cutting was a real challenge. I almost bit through my bottom lip before I got finished with that part of the engraving. (The other side of this knife is much prettier than this side, but I'm just too modest to show it.

hi
jim
getting around a curved surface like that with the wiggle tool is quit hard bad enough on a flat surface some times you have done real good

Nice work. Could I suggest a liner to do the wriggle cuts.

I like the way you balenced the floral
Simple and clean. Nice flat work.
They are a trick to master but once you get comfy with them
they are wicked for falsh design work.
Looking forward to the next piece.
