Rik Palm Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I just finished these up. One is a Damascus Fire Genie. I only make the damascus one by commission usually by the close friends of a very ill person. (a fire genie is use to start fires, I attach it to a leather necklace pouch with a flint rod, it also holds tinder. I forged the first one for me, for hiking out of high carbon steel but apparently they have serious mojo so the damacus one are really powerful). anyway... Last night I finished up this little guy, great for opening up those darn DVD cases. He hangs on a forge hook on a neck cord. nothing big but I thought I'd share.

Janel Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Good work! You keep showing blades that I want to use as scraper tools! The maggot is right up my interest alley and beckons to be used! How big is the fire genie? The intent of making a damascus fire genie for very ill persons is to aid their inner fire in the fight for wellness? Is there a history behind this?

tsterling Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Cool stuff, Rik! Like Janel, I too have a perversion for carving the unusual and little noticed things like maggots. There was a time I carved things like small garlic bulbs (wood) with a little ivory or antler maggot hiding in them. Never popular with clients, but I loved making them. Oh well, lots of netsuke rats and snails and things that western eyes might find repugnant. Keep up the good work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
