Very nice work, sir. I especially like the intertwined vines on the back and sides of the blade flowing onto the ricasso in a manner matching the twined hair and beard of the faces on either side; the loops and swirls of the Damasteel sure seem to work well with that motif, too. I'm also quite curious about the eight hex-screws (maybe? they seem a bit rounded inside) and how the stabilized mammoth tusk is attached. My curiosities aside, good show!

This is a rare piece that was formed only from my own head , I rested a bit between two orders . The mammoth tusk is fixed by two pieces of steel and glue .
 
Wow... That is some amazing work! The carving of the steel is what shines most to me. It's not your regular engraving style (which I really like as well), you're actually deeply carving that Damasteel (and whatever other steels you use). I don't know that I've ever seen abrasion resistant knife steel be carved so deeply like that.
 
I easily agree. That is not only art, but art of a very high order. Your vision and its exquisite execution bring a stunning result. Bravo!

First of all, thank you very much , I learned many techniques, but steel carving what I really like . All my knives are made using a similar technique .
