Antique Vines and Roses Trio



A group shot of the last 3 pieces of stainless damascus. Vines and Roses patterned Minnow, Baby Pacu, and Hammerhead. The patterning on the pryedges of these pieces is amazing:) Looks like scales or netting.

I cannot believe no one is posting. I want to see some darned posts people. Let's go. If you love the Links then lets see some support. His stuff is original and one of a kind. No one else is doing stuff like the JDR. No one. So lets support the guy so he can continue to create and demonstrate his talent and capabilities.

I have some of JDR's pieces and they are truly exceptional.

I have Custom knives that were extremely expensive and I can tell you that Joshua's stuff will outwork - and outlast them.

All made with attention to every detail.

I'm in the market for more I his stuff, I can tell you that.

I have recently discovered Joshua's work and I agree - his pieces are are very exceptional! The idea of pocket tools is a great one, and these are very precisely and artfully made.

I have purchased several very nice JDR pieces over that last few weeks, and I have appreciated each and every one. John's comment about them matching up to very expensive custom knives rings true for me too, and the "playability" factor might even be greater.

I hesitated to post this, because if everyone knew how nice Joshua's work is, it will be harder for me to get some more. ;-) However, that is not cool. This is functional artwork - experience it for yourself.

Thank you all so much for the kind words; all the support and well-wishes really do mean a great deal to me:)

I've got several of Joshua's damascus pieces, including his first five pieces. I think his latest stuff is fantastic. The grinds are clean, his heat-treating seems spot on, and his etching really looks great. I'm looking forward to having him do some more damascus pieces for me. Way to go Josh!

Yep JDR does have the talent and experties. Now how about a Damascus steel Golf Tool.
Maybe a Damascus divot Tool with a pocket clip for easy carry. Or a Damascus Divot tool that is mini sized but will do the job.
Wow that would be very cool.
