Roger's Custom Made Damascus Tanto Blade Machete ______________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Maker: Roger James Blade length: 12.00 in. Total length: 17.00 in. Blade width: 1.90 in. Blade thickness: 0.192 in. Blade: 420 layer twisted and re-layered Damascus forged by Roger from 1095 and 15N20 high carbon steels Handle: Exotic Dark Rosewood Burl Sheath: Comes with Hand-tooled Genuine Leather Sheath Description: As an avid hunter, Roger knows how a knife should perform. The steel should be hard and maintain a superior edge. Though Roger is best known for his hunters, when he puts his hands to creating Bowies and large Machetes, he brings the same ideas of quality and design to these pieces. The result is exceptional. 420 layer twisted and re-layered Damascus steel blade will maintain a superior edge and will be easy to re-sharpen. Hardened to 59-60 Rc, Roger has assured that the blade will keep it edge through the most difficult tasks. The Rosewood handle is smoothed. The nickel silver Guard & Pommel brings the weight back into the handle for an exceptional balance. Excellent fit and finish throughout.

RockBlade Knives has defined a level of elegance that hinges on the palette of materials and techniques that we bring to bear on each piece we create. Our work is limited only by our imaginations, and we continue to push that envelope outward with every new style we offer. We source materials from around the world, testing and developing each for our specific applications; they must both serve both the aesthetics and function of the piece. One without the other is a failure of our vision. Superlative function, elevated to superlative art, is achieved by working with materials that are tough enough for daily use and exotic enough to surprise even the most jaded collector. My Firm works with some of the finest artisans in the world to build each piece, and a typical knife requires more than Sixteen Weeks from concept to completion. The integration of various traditions, materials and technologies allow me to create cutlery that is elegant, distinctive and without peer in performance. Pattern welding, commonly known as "Damascus" is a process that involves heat, sweat, time and skill. There are numerous bladesmiths today that are unable to master its intricacies and subtleties, but it is not "impossible" to do. The pattern welding process involves an intimate knowledge of forge practice and a great deal of skill in order to get precise, beautiful and breathtaking patterns in the steel. Attention to detail, working techniques and material selection are all important pieces in the pattern welding puzzle. A properly forged pattern welded blade is a thing of beauty and deadly purpose. Legendary in its ability to cut and "stay together", these blades are the ultimate test of the bladesmith's art. We are proud to present what have been called the "finest pattern welded blades available today". Each blade is forged, welded and patterned by hand, and our patterns are precise and exacting. Unlike the so called "Random" laminated material offered elsewhere we look at this steel as raw material. The place where others leave off we actually consider a starting point! The patterns we offer are varied and range from the simple, yet elegant to the intricate and mind blowing. There are literally no limits as to what can be done in steel. The patterns shwon here are but a sample, and some of these patterns haven't been done anywhere else as yet..Some of these patterns I have devlouped over the years, some are traditional, all are beautiful. We are also proud that we can offer traditionally welded "Viking" and/or Germanic/European style composite blades using ... read more
