It all started with a sketch, which I finished up mid December 2013 and then sent to Boston.
I was going for a kard/jambiya/khanjar/pesh kabz hybrid type thing, with a little Kabar thrown in. The main thing I was going for was a nice, broad blade to showcase J.D.'s mesmerizing damascus, in a form that I thought might jive with his artistic language.
Never felt that I got this pattern completely nailed down, and looking back on it from the distance of time, I can see so many problem areas and lost opportunities.
Fortunately, J.D. follows the beat of his on anvil...
