My latest project, a full integral in San Mai Damascus:

Most of you have probably didn't get fooled, but here's a pic that tell's something about the real size of the little one:

Since I got my old mill from a fellow knifemaker, I suffer from a disease that forces me to try out lot's of things with my new toy :D.
So after I messed on a handle this morning I thought why not trying a full integral to get rid of the built up anger.

The result oh this thought can be seen in the above pictures. From time to time it's a little bit frustrating working with the quite small mill, but in the end it's just pure fun watching a little knife being born out of a thick chunk of steel.

I'm gonna keep you informed about the progress of the little one :).

cool, wish i had a mill. when I first saw the top pic i thought it was a big knife and then I saw your finger... :D
 
Thanks a lot jonvalblades, that mill sure is a piece of equipment I don't want to miss anymore :).

Here's a little update, the knife is finaly ground and hand sanded and has been etch for the first time (probably two more etches will follow):

The grind is not that good to see because of the damascus, on the customers request I added a false edge on top of the blade.

But before the knife starts it journey to Hawaii, I have to get some mammoth ivory, since the last piece I had litteraly fell to pieces when I tried to work it :(.

Looking forward to your comments :).

Regards Marcus
