Don Nguyen Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I take things slow, and this project took me a year to complete (partially because I'm still a student, but mostly because I kept goofing up). This theme, with the black, ivory, koa, and hamon, was in my head for a long time and I finally finished it. It may not look that challenging but for some reason, it was really difficult for me Facebook video tour: https://www.facebook.com/DonNguyenKnives/videos/1004971822859239/Comments, criticism, and questions are welcome. www.facebook.com/donnguyenknives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruben Delanghe Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 It's beautiful! Angered at his lack of success, Ilmarinen conjures the four winds to fan the flames. The winds blow for three days, until finally, the Sampo is born, taking the shape of a magic mill that produces grain, salt and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emiliano Carrillo Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 There's nothing simple about that besides the look of the design, that is a hell of an accomplishment! I've admired your pieces for a long time and this one is just ratcheting it up another notch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Colwell Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 looks nice. the handle and fittings look like they would have been challenging. I like it. kc please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.” E. V.
