I was busting your chops Stacy, I figured you would've at least attempted it that's why I asked. I figured there had to be a good reason you didn't go with it

 

[Drew Riley]

I'm lovin' it. Can't wait to see the finished knife in all of it's glory.

 

[Fletch Helical]

Um, Ashokan is over. Just sayin

 

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

Yes, It is over now.

Here are a few shots of the whole knife. The damascus is made by Chris Marks, and the pattern is fireworks and flags.

[Omega Leather Works]

Very nice. Looks like it would feel like a handshake.

So... does this mean you've changed your opinion on hand crafted laminates? No shame in it...

 

[Fletch Helical]

Very nice! I like that pattern especially the fireworks aspect of it.

The uniformity of the stars is great but most of all one has to applaud your creativity and willingness to try a new craft method...oh, and did I mention that I think the knife is striking and handsome as well as beautifully finished. You should be proud of this project. Thank you for sharing it. Larry Lehman
