Description: Dana Hackney is a maker who continues to challenge himself and improve his craft. His sense of design is exceptional and only matched with his level of attention to detail.
Dana began the piece by forging a capable six inch blade from 1084 carbon steel, which he completed with a hand-rubbed satin finish - this results in a stylish and classic appearance. The guard is formed from Dana's own damascus, combining 1080 and 15N20 carbon steels into a rippling steel pattern that nicely complements the natural grain of the maple handle. The spacer and end cap are both formed from ivory micarta and surround the spalted maple handle, highlighting the lightest tones in the spalted wood grain perfectly. The dramatic spalting in the maple gives an effect reminiscent of dappled sunlight. A thoughtfully designed piece with exceptional fit and finish throughout!
