: We were excited when Australian bladesmith Jason Heinemann reached out to ask if BladeGallery would represent his work. Jason clearly has an eye for the small details and talented skills at the forge. Heinemann began taking his bladesmithing career to the next level after taking classes at Australian bladesmithing school Tharwa Valley Forge in 2018 where he learned to create and refine complex damascus patterns. He currently prefers to make one-of-a-kind art knives with a focus on bowie knives, fighters, and daggers. This Damascus Bowie shows Jason’s skills at their best and can easily be the center of any collection!
The large 10-1/2 inch blade is Jason’s own feather pattern damascus, hand forged from 1084 and 15n20 carbon steels for excellent edge retention and toughness. The high contrast, detailed pattern is extremely engaging and encourages further inspection.
The handle Is stabilized Tasmanian blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon). Tasmanian blackwood is native to Tasmania and eastern Australia. Although called “blackwood,” the name is somewhat of a misnomer, as its wood is not at all black. Rather, its lustrous golden brown grain and figure is very similar to Hawaiian curly koa. The guard, spacer, and takedown pin are polished 416 stainless steel. The pin allows the knife to be disassembled if cleaning and maintenance are needed. Take-down construction requires tighter tolerances and shows Heinemann’s focus on the details. This is a knife you really have to hold to truly appreciate! Because this knife is made from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to oil the blade and natural wood handle.
To keep the knife close at hand, a custom leather sheath made by Shane Partridge of Blacks Blades is included. The beautifully done sheath includes ostrich leather inlay.
Exceptional work throughout!
