Here are two I finished a couple of weeks ago.
I made another texturing hammer, and these are the first two to have some new texture.



This first one is only kind of a gomai. It has 5 layers but only 2 steels (1084 + 15n20).
The texture on the handle is a mixture of an old pattern and a new one.





Up next is one of my Nubbies in san mai (1084 with a 15n20 core).
I like the texture on this one a lot. It feels very organic.





Thanks for looking!

Are you marking your knives with a maker's mark yet?

I notice you are marking your photos with a copyright logo.

Best Regards,

Shelby, Ironically I was thinking about your work today and made a quick sketch of a folder I would like to make in your style!

Nice to see more of your work, I admire it greatly!

Both are very nice. The idea of pattern can be developed and to achieve even better results. I would oppose sections without pattern of such with intensive one. Congratulations.
