Antonio rocks! Now who was telling me the other day that "these fancy damascus knives" never get used?

Burt -

As promised, here are some pictures of the blade in action making short work of our old Xmas tree. That pine was not hard, but it was full of sap. However, the combination of your blade and the skilled user cruised thru the task. I spent a few minutes with WD-40 later that evening removing the pine sap and wood funk. The knife performed flawlessly. A little stropping and it was back to shaving sharp.

It was very comfortable to hold and swing. The knife absorbed a lot of vibrations. I always remember that some of my other hard knives transferred too much of the impact. Maybe is the "softer" spine. Regardless of the reason, it is the best blade I have ever used. Once the weather gets better, I will be out there cleaning out the backyard with gusto.

Best,

Antonio

Now .. this is MORE than WIP thread :thumbup: Lots of thanks to Burt .. and to Antonio :)

Moral of the story: I should've bought a camera and take shots of my knife in use :p

Burt-
Seeing that blade in use brings what I feel to be a fine example of a WIP post full circle.
Form and function never looked better! Think it's possible to chisel the grin off of Antonio's face?
 
Great stuff! I've enjoyed this thread immensely and seeing the knife in use is the icing on the cake.
 
Great thread Burt. I surely like that damascus. Thanks for taking the trouble to show us how its done. The finished knife is beautiful!
 
What an awesome thread and blade. How did I miss this the first time around?
