When I twisted up the damascus billet for the Quillon Dagger of Darkness I was left with an end piece that had one twist and some untwisted layers. It definitely wasn’t going to go to waste, so I forged this chef knife by hand from the 2″ x 3″x 3/8″ remainder. The loose, very stretched twist matched this piece of stabilized hickory perfectly, and African Blackwood fittings and accent make the whole thing pop. Comes with a zipper case.
