    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.

    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    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.
