Another piece by Luciano Dorneles

[Ivan Campos]

I just receive this little tomahawk this morning from Luciano, and it only confirms this guy talents.

It is very simple yet quite ellegant small tomahawk. it's head is of damascus steel with a File steel core 9everything clearly visible from the top of the head and the handle is of a very dark piece of jacarandá wood. The plaque with the maker's signature (Búfalo)inlayed in handle is also made of damascus steel.
The leather sheath is also made by Luciano - another specaility of this maker - and matches the hawk style and quality. Nobody in Brazil makes Frontier style sheaths better than Luciano today.
This little hawk is surprisingly light and in my opinion is a bit more weapon-like than tool-like.
Let me know how did you like it, guys.

I think it is a beauty, Ivan. That sheath is spectacular. Is it possible to get a better (larger) picture of the hawk? It is hard to make out the pattern of the damascus.

By the way, I absolutely love the knife I just received. I hope everything went OK with Western Union.

Hello, Keith

This is the best I can get with my Epson 2500.
The pattern is a bold, random style, with thick layers, etched then highly polished, so it is not as flashy as usual and does not show too easily in the scan, too.

Regarding the money, it was collected yesterday with no trouble at all, except that it is all gone...
