Mokume Gane and Mammoth tooth “Toad”
Posted on Friday, September 28th, 2012 at 8:55 am under Knife construction.
- This is a small fixed blade design that I call “Toad”. I just finished it using the Mokume Gane that I made at the ABANA conference in Rapid City. I used 40 layers of Copper, 20 layers of nickle silver, and 20 layers of Red brass. The copper was put between every layer of the brass and nickel silver. I think it turned out very striking. I ran it through a ladder pattern die to bring the layers to the surface. The blade is what I call Teton damascus or a laddered W’s pattern. The handle is Mammoth tooth and it is all put together with 0-80 tork head screws so I could finish the knife then take it apart and etch the hole knife so the damascus shows around the handle. It also has dovetailed bolsters and a tapered tang. Any questions or comments let me know.

Wow! Beautiful very nice. A jewel.
Hello,
I would like to know how much it would cost to have a “Mokume Gane and Mammoth tooth “Toad”” folder done.
Also what is the blade length?
Thank you,
Fabrizio
