Thanks for looking!

Phillip that is very "radiant." Nice.

That's just plain gorgeous...

That looks gorgeous. I love tight, many-layered damascus.

The word is really goofy sounding but I think it's called "chatoyance".

It is very nice and shiny!

I love shiny!

That's a great pattern.

What is the blade material used, is that what is called stainless damascus?

Nope, this steel is made from a mixture of 1084 and 15N20. There are about 450 layers in this piece.

THAT is what damascus (at least in my opinion) is supposed to look like!
