Mako knife by Logan Pearceby *Logan-Pearce

Artisan Crafts / Metal Work

Rumor about this knife: If you close your eyes, it becomes invisible.

Name: Mako
Blade Length: 4 1/4"
OAL: 9 5/16"
Blade Material: 5160/1075 Ladder Pattern Welded Steel
Handle Material: Green Dyed and Stabilized Brain Coral
Notes: Took away about a weeks worth of my life carving this with hand files.

This design was once Twisted Wing;

but then I realized after making that knife, that it didn't have the same look and feel as it's sister Avatar. So I modified it a bit and now it looks like this. An upgrade that I like, because blue and green are both my favorite colors, but green is my super uber favorite color.

This is the younger sister of

Since 'Yes' won the poll, you get a preview of my precious before I send it off to get professionally photographed. Hopefully they can do a better job of capturing the awesomeness that I fail to do, because this picture does not do it justice.

I might be toning down the layer count a bit after this one. I need to use a different types of metal. I'm considering a three different metal billet so that I can capture black, gray, and silver colors in my damascus. All I know is this one, in the light will daze you for a second. >.< Which wasn't really what I was going for. I wanted darker colors, but I still love this knife.

Oh and love me on Facebook pleeease! Some of my other knifemaker friends have been threatening to add my page and stuff. I look like a total n00bsteak with only 100 people when they have like hundreds. ;_;
