Prized weapon

[VonMessa]

Hand-forged, hand-hammered, folded, hammered, folded, etc...

Not true damascus, I think he started with a piece of cable.

I have a different knife that's pattern-welded.  Nice looking too, but not fancy or nearly as large (3" blade?).  I use it as a hunting knife.

Just giving you crap 

I prefer carbon steel blades over stainless any day

20 years ago, I worked with this guy who wanted to borrow 20 bucks.  He said he would make me a tiny knife and axe.  He said the axe handle is Mammoth tusk, and the knife handle was some sort of African wood.  The photo is not very good, but they look really good in person.

The one on the far left is my prized weapon.

I'm using a bird (a peregrine falcon) to hunt the ducks and pheasants.  I just let her get up a ways above the ducks, and I walk in and flush them.  She comes down and gives them a 200mph kick in the head.

Waushara county does have some really good deer hunting.  That's where I've been deer hunting for the last 18 years 

you ever see the video of the guy who took his peregrine up to 30,000 ft?  both jumped out of the plane..... they recorded over 300 mph from the Falcon



I love a nice pattern welded blade

there is a guy in this country that makes pattern wielded Katana's from Cable..."Dragonfly forge"  I think, he makes awesome stuff.

The knife blade looks rusted.  It's just the light.  It shinny, but you can see the hammer marks.

 Your right Ink,dragon forge does make very nice blades but then he charges hefty prices!

    I'd consider getting a blade from him,you know a shorter than average blade but at the time I think he want close to 100 bucks an inch. At that price a Paul Chen blade sounds like a bargain!

  BTW,nice paper cut,weren't you taught not to play with sharp things??

ya that is a Paul Chen.....the "Tiger" sick blade cost about 1300, the Dragon forge though...man I want one of his Cable Katana's....he wont sell them if he cant cut through a 1/4" piece of cable...

he actually goes out and collects his own ore and carbon...or creates his own carbon...everything from scratch, the way he was taught in Japan. I think I saw a 4,000$ price tag.....if I could afford it I would pay that without batting a eye.
hell I dropped the 1300$ on the Paul Chen without thinking twice,  it was the most expensive blade in the store...I have a serious love for the Samaria Sword, strange seeings how I am French and Irish.

Just looked into this thread, and seen PFD's shotgun on the first page. Where was that one manufactured, if i can ask? I own a very simmilar one, but thats a czech copy of an old german hunting shotgun.
Also got a czech copy of a Mauser rifle, manufactured in Brno, thats a great gun.

It was manufactured here in the US, by a company that would make guns and then sell them to hardware stores who would then sell the gun under their own name.  My gun, was sold by a hardware store in St Louis, Missouri.  It isn't really valuable to anyone, other then myself.  It was made somewhere on the East coast, the name of the town and the manufacturing company escapes me at the moment.

I've been getting into black powder weapons as of late. Here's my latest pistol, a 1858 Remington .44 cal. cap and ball

Black powder is a lot of fun!  I have a reproduction 1860 Army, which is similar (sort of) to your pistol.  I also have this reproduction Charleville Musket which is a lot of fun to shoot.  It's more accurate then you'd think too.

I almost got a 1860 and will before it's all over but I want to get a 2nd 1858 so I have a pair and I'm dieing to get my hand on an old Sharpe's 50-90. But man do they ever want the bucks for one
