Damascus Petty / Sandwich Knife

[watercrawl]

A recently completed 150mm petty (sandwich knife).

Details:

Devin Thomas Stainless Damascus blade

Hybrid "D" shaped handle from California Buckeye burl with copper ferrule.

Handle constructed with mortise and tenon type mechanical connection for strength. The copper ferrule has a nipple of sorts on it that fits within the wood body. The bond is tight enough that I was able to shape the handle dry fit that way I could get the copper kind of hot without ruining the epoxy bond. Then when everything was done, I glued it up and then it was just finish sanding/polishing. I love having a milling machine.
