Damascus Taurus 12 with Black Sycamore.

[erik markman]

The Taurus 12 with Black Sycamore is also finished.

150 Layer damascus of 1.2842 and 75ni8.

The handle looks a bit like carbon fibre.

Hope you like it!

This one and the last are both sweet!

Didn't you have a tutorial or photo somewhere about how you file/grind your integrals? If so, I sure would appreciate a link

 

[Mike Quesenberry]

Love your integrals, Erik.

This model is one of the best looking knives out there right now IMHO. Nice work as always Erik! :thumbup:

One of the nicest Taurus I've seen.

I hope I'll get a chance to see it next week!

VERY nice. GREAT blade grinds, handle shape and looks VERY good in damascus.

[John Frankl]

Thank you very much!

Any shots of you grinding/filing the plunge lines?

 

[erik markman]

I grind the flats first and grind the transition to the bolster on a small wheel.
I will try to make a Pic for you.

 

[John Frankl]

Thank you!

Man, I LOVE your style Erik!!!

Like John, I'd sure appreciate any more WIP photos you can find time to add to the forums.

If you hadn't said this was Sycamore, I would have thought it was some fancy weave carbon fibre! BEAUTIFUL!

I have some spalted Sycamore from Mark that I'm faunching at the bit to use... And even got some more on the way. Such pretty wood! Where did you get the black stuff from???

Another super knife Erik!!! :thumbup:

 

[erik markman]

I got the black Sycamore from Mark at Burlsource.
Thanks for your compliments!

I will try to do a new WIP around the end of the year again.
