Yesterday I received a pleasant surprise in my email, a new photograph from Caleb Royer of a knife I finished about a month of so ago and I thought I would share it. This was a fun project for a client over seas where he gave me pretty much full artistic freedom which is a wonderful opportunity. The blade was forged using a go mai type of construction with 400 layer 1095/15n20 for the outside layers, pure nickel, and a core of W2. The handle is carbon fiber and black ash burl with mosaic/ stainless steel pins. Overall the knife ended up being just shy of fifteen inches long so definitely not on the small side, but it was a joy to make and any comments or criticisms are always welcome. Thanks for looking.

that's my kind of knife!
very interesting combination of textures, line and colour. A real successful piece that you ought to be proud of :)
 
One of the most beautiful knives i've seen lately.
 
Very interesting execution of the layering of the blade steels. Overall that's one heck of an impressive-looking chopper. Well done!
 
Thanks for all of the kind compliments everyone, this was a really fun piece to work on and my first time using pure nickel in a weld. I was really glad I stopped by to visit Karl Anderson before finishing this knife as he was the one the provided the black ash burl for the handle.
