mseronde 5 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hey all - I've just finished this one up. 8" santoku-like - 1084 n 15n20. I definitely though it was sanmai - with the core being a different pattern/orientation of damascus, but either I lost it somewhere in the grind, or I totally used the wrong billet. I suppose i'll have to start paying more attention to the steel I make and what knives are from which billets! The spacer is also damascus, just a scrap I had floating around. I etched it after gluing everything together so couldnt get it as deep as I wanted. I am scared to try using marking pins and glue every thing up after etching... maybe the next one. The wood is local AZ ironwood. Questions/criticisms really welcome! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Charles dP 458 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I like it. In fact I think the more subtle etch on the spacer looks good. Kind of a reward for looking a bit closer and it compliments the wood grain. Link to post Share on other sites
Will Wilcox 262 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Very nice. I really like, well, basically everything about it! Clean work. Link to post Share on other sites
Hoy's Forge 27 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 It exudes Japanese "style"! Graceful , clean, natural. The elements blend seamlessly, yet they contrast enough to show distinction. The clean tight fit of the tang into the wood is commendable as well! SWEET! Link to post Share on other sites
