first damascus in two years

[Lon Humphrey]

so after 2 years of banging away on production knives and part of that was due to the city putting zoning restrictions on my hammer time. I finally made a bar of damasucus

it was so refreshing to get in the shop and make something with out a plan or a order just to be able to create on my own terms and at my own pace

30 layers of 1095 and 15N20 on the twist with the same damascus for all the fittings sambar stag and a 18 carrot gold pin

i hope you enjoy looking because i enjoyed making it

Lon, don't be too hard on yourself, two years is a long time. I am sure with a little more practice your skill level will come back up.

Kidding aside, looks great. :thumbup:
