    Default DD Hand Forged

    Got this blade only.
    Cleaned it up and repurposed some bone scales:

    Hand Forged was one of my first Ducks. I would say it's one of my favorites but then they all are :<0)

    Cool you put it in bone. Most I see, come that way and I suspect that is their natural state.

    Thanks pups.
    It seems these were done with bone scales.
    It was that or ebony. Lol
    Figured I would try and keep this one close to original.
    Still have to hone it but I am SURE it will shave like a duck....GREAT.

    Very nice bone. Prepared very well. Nicely done.

    How do they get the DD icons in the hammered steel?

    Most likely they use a negative punch that is either pressed or struck into the hot steel. If the tang was soft the steel would not necessarily have to be hot.

    What Mike said. I chisel in my marks, using a chisel I made from an old piece of file.
    I do that cold, on my workbench after I am ready with grinding and shaping.
    If the steel is annealed properly, punching it in cold should pose no big problems.

    Not sure I've seen a forged tang like that before, I like it though. The scales go well with that blade.
