Here is a piece that I picked up at the Knife Expo 03 show. I traded dearly for it.. But, I think it was worth it..

I'll bet you that one did set you back a bit. That is some of the nicest mosaic damascus I have seen. Horses, right?
 
Actually Keith they are Giraffes. I have some bigger pics of it but I didn't want to clog up the site by posting them. If you would like I can send them to you in email..

This pic really doesn't do it justice. When I first saw it, my mouth dropped to the floor. Since Joe was actually at the show in Buena Park, he actually went over it with a fine tooth comb and adjusted the action some. So, it is also smooth as silk as well.

By the way, the edge is sharp enough the pop hair off your arm.. That back loop is really cool and it is damascus.

I am sure it took Joe a good while to complete this baby. He also had a wharncliff that was kind of similar on his table marked SOLD.. Oh well, can't be too greedy :)
