ED Fowler老爷子还健在 ---女徒弟也是MS

叨叨催人老

羊角本身具有 润、韧、耐用、不易开裂等优点   用做刀柄胜于牛角、鹿角

树欲静

不上手光看图片真没办法把ED刀和价格划等号。上手以后才感觉到。粗犷中的细腻。

这里有介绍：http://www.bladegallery.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=480

Audra Draper forges all her knives. Since she first started making blades under Ed Fowler's watchful eye, while working as a ranch hand, forging seemed like the only way to go. She forges her blades from 52100 bearing steel and layered Damascus. Since she started making Damascus in April 1996, this has been a real passion for her. Most of the time her Damascus is made from 1084 and 15N20.
Though Audra makes many different kinds of knives, she most frequently makes using knives such as Damascus hunters with 300 plus layers and blades that range from 3 1/2" to 4 1/2".

Each knife Audra makes is tested for flexibility and cutting ability before it leaves her shop. As she says, "A good using knife should look good, but the most important thing for a knife to do is perform."

Her guards are designed for both comfort and protection. They keep your hand from slipping up on the blade while their smooth, rounded edges are comfortable to hold during heavy use. Her guards are precision fitted and silver-soldered to the blades. She mostly used brass, nickel-silver, and mokume.

Handle materials show a dedication to quality since she uses only the best; rambouilett sheephorn, antlers, buffalo horn, ironwood and other exotic hardwoods are at home on Audra's knives.

Audra passed her MasterSmith test with the American Bladesmith Society June 2000. She is the first woman to become an ABS Mastersmith.

对

而且他对52100的热处理是一绝 局部烧刃 既美观 又兼备硬度与韧性 其刀锋的切割力与保持度是惊人的

纠结体

布拉德皮特啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊

雨水井

据说老头用这个羊角的羊也较为稀少了，我一直在想他这个手柄相对国人的手掌尺寸是不是太大了。我是用了noren的scagel之后再也看不上一般量产直刀了，就是喜欢，没法！

ED Fowler是美国刀匠中Farmer/Rancher(统称农场）类的制刀大师...只要是在这个范围里，他的刀无人能出左右. ...

是本人打字，和老爷子聊过，回复挺快的，老爷子说今年气候好，农场不用怎么管，所以做了比往年更多的刀具，现在正前往亚特兰大途中

你没顺便请教一下他的小刀子为什么那么厚，主要用途是什么？

这个问题，之前他的大徒弟bill burke 用实际行动做过展示，这个小刀子确实是作为猎刀用的，分割猎物，至于为毛那么厚，难道是为了撬骨头？下次倒是可以问下他
