Smoke was one of two matching Skein Dubhs constructed from Gordian Knot pattern damascus. The guard, pommel and spacers were sandwiched O-1 and A-286 and the grip was fluted ivory. The blade on Smoke was nitre blued and each of the individual bars of damascus were forged differently - resulting in the swirl of colors rising up the blade.

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.
