Overview

This is an exceptionally fine piece of work, made all the more impressive in a double action automatic. Mr. Swauger hand forged the left twist/right twist damascus blade & frame himself. The damascus backspring is fileworked as are the ovals in the frame in which the abalone inlays are placed. To top it off, this knife works as good as it looks, the scale release action is smooth and fast with a solid lock up. Manual opening is equally smooth. Blade closure is via the scale release. This knife is number 005 of only five made. Blade Steel: Swauger Hand Forged 1095 Damascus

About the Maker

Swauger, Ford

Ford has been making knives for 10+ years, starting out as a stress reliever from his main occupation as Fire Chief. Ford has since retired after 30+ years in the Fire Service and 9 years in gunsmithing, now his main past time is knifemaking. Ford designs and crafts knives of all styles: fixed blades, folders, automatics, and miniatures. He also makes his ownDamascus, from simple twists to patterned mosaic using L-6, l095, and 01. He does all his own work on each knife, including the Damascus, carving, file-art, anodizing, heat-treating and forging. Each of Ford's knives are hand-crafted, no two knives are exact in the finished product. When you have a Swauger knife, you truly have an original and one that has all the work done and made by its Maker.
