48 layers of kitcheny goodness

[oldanvilyoungsmith]

Just finished this kitchen utility/paring knife for a friends wedding present.

Blade is 48 layers of 1084/15n20

Octagonal handle, maple burl, copper bolster and spacer, and black micarta spacer with mosaic pin.



This was a fun build for me, the first time I've done a blade his thin, worked with copper, and made an octagonal handle. So lots of new stuff here.


















Closeup of the handle, some crazy stuff going in that wood.

Very cool, I really like low layer damascus personally.

God Bless YA
