Tsuba Watch Fob
Remember the pocket watches of the old days? Rich people could afford a
chain. Poor people merely had a strap of leather. The fob was attached
to the leather to help you pull it out. This one I made is patterened
after a Japanese tsuba.

Sword
This is a Merovingian style sword that I made in 1975 (yeah yeah I know!)
The patterns on the top and bottom of this image are close-ups of the
pattern I had forged down the center of the blade.

Here's another knife I made. Notice in the median the word "Meier". This

Scramasax
Here is a small scramasax. It was Inspired by 6th Century Merovingian
scramasax from
Central Europe. The blade is about 6 inches, made from a 4-bar Turkish
pattern from AISI 1095 and pure
nickel, made back in mid-seventies (1970's that is, not middle ages!).
Handle is ancient small walrus tusk au jus.
