The Chain Dragon This folder is 6 1/2'' open. It has a picture Damascus blade and bolster. Its handle is carved mammoth ivory. |
Dueling Dragons This dragon folder won "Best of Show"
in 2002 at the Oregon Knife Makers Show. It's a good example of the dragon
series with its picture mosaic blade and reptilian style of carving and file work. |
SCALE OF DRACO This
folder is the last of 4 folders to use this Damascus pattern. It wow
the first annual Jim Schmitt Award in 2001 at the ECCK (East Coast
Custum Knife Show). I used a taxidermy eye for diamondback rattlesnake for the thumbstud. Gold leaf backing creates an amazing amount of iridescence. The textured handle evokes a dragon's skin, moving into fileworked scales on the backbar. Description & picture from www.bladegallery.com |

LAST OF THE DRAGONS This is the last
dragon folder I made. It has both white and black dragons in the
mosaic damascus steel. A carved mammoth(top of handle) and fossil
walrus(bottom of handle) ivory handle. The thumb stud is a poisonous
reptile eye. This is my personal favorite of the dragon folders. |
DRAGON CLAW This is the last of the dragon series. It has a composite mosaic damascus dagger blade. The guard, center spine, and pommel are of bronze. The haboki and overlays are made of copper. The bronze guard is forged to the shape of Velociraptor claws. |
Dragon Slayer This one of the two
dragon daggers I have made. The blade has dragons and Celtic knots in
the twisted mosaic steel. The handle is fossil walrus ivory and the
guard is engraved blued steel forged in the shape of Velociraptor claws. |
