First two in damascus

[haburn]

I picked up an Anyang 88 from James Johnson (great to work with by the way) a few weeks ago and these are my first two in damascus.
They're 52100/15n20 with carbon fiber and ironwood burl. The Western gyuto is 254mm x 56mm and the parer is 104mm.
This was the first power hammer I've every used and also never used a press. WOW, pounding out some hot steel is crazy fun!
All questions/comments welcome. Thanks for looking!

Thanks Salem! After the Seattle show it was time to pull the trigger and get the hammer ordered. Lots of patterns and project to do with the new capabilities!
