Custom Knife

Hiiet is clad in a special mosaic damascus body inlayed with a total of 8 black lip pearl ovals. The pearl inlays have been cut into cabochons, giving them greater luminosity and color play. The mosaic damascus grips must been seen to be fully appreciated; individual cells pebble a surface swept throughout with ribbons of brightly flashing blue steel while droplets of nickle splash here and there.Hiiet's pivot pin is inlayed with two black lip pearl rounds, again cut into cabochons to enhance the color and clarity of the pearl. As well as improving the fire of the pearl this process also creates a wonderful tactile feel in the hand.Hiiet's back spacer and lockbar are of ladder pattern damascus and have been fileworked. The lockbar has been shaped into a dorsal spine that raises above the body of the knife, making unlocking a smooth and easy experience.
The blade on Hiiet is from a Delbert Ealy 7 bar composite damscus. The tightly patterned blade contains bars of ladder, star twist and even a central bar of moasic damascus. As usual with my manual DarkLight knives Hiiet has a thumbstud shaped into an eye and carrying an inlayed pupil of abalone.

 

Welcome to Kain Designs custom knife creations. To enter my main site please

click HERE or select the Kain Designs banner below. This site is devoted to forging a better

understanding of art knives, folders, swords, bladesmithing, forge welding, custom knives,

damascus and many other unique and stylized designs. On my site you will see custom knives

such as Witch, Sorceress and Ras al-Ghul using exotic materials such as damascus, mokume

and pearl. These knives will range from unique fixed blades to manual and automatic folding

knives. Many of my knives are designed around myths from various backgrounds - such as

Celtic (knives like Bane Shide), or Egyptian cultures (with knives such as Ammut). The knives

are carefully hand crafted pieces of carving and sculpture. The damascus is custom forged for

each folder and often I will use mosaic damascus and pearl inlays in my pieces.
