Beautiful knife but would someone help me get my head around how that was forged. Was it just cut, arranged and hammered back together or is there something I don't understand? At any rate it produced a really interesting pattern....

Edit, should have read a little closer. It's obvious to me now that it was, as the title indicates, woven. The burl handle really goes well with it; congrats.

Thanks, very interesting but to tell the truth I thought I had it figured out until I looked at the link. Now I'm a bit confused....
