Karl B. Andersen 17 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Don't ever ask me to get something done in a hurry - OK?It was either 4 years ago or 5 - I'm just not sure.Brian Thie and I were watching Bill Wiggins and Daniel Warren do a San Mai demo at the Mid-America ABS hammer-in.I looked at Brian and he looked at me and we simultaneously said, "Wonder what that would look like with Damascus?" So - all this time later, I finally get around to doing one.It's a really over-cast and cloudy day here, today, but normally a bit of sun would showcase the really nice chatoyance this Damascus has.I am going to hot-blue it, like I do with all my Damascus, and it will show up even better then.But, I just got this etched and thought I'd toss it out here for folks to see.
