Carbon steel nuts, bolts, and chopped up gear stock welded in a canister with 1095 and nickle powder, forge-welded-on random pattern 1080 and 1095 cutting edge. Hidden tang ebony handle with 3D printed cast bronze guard and medallions. The Nazz logo is hidden in the medallions.

I've been having a lot of fun with canister damascus recently; I think I'll try to perfect this pattern a bit more, I really like where it's going... not quite there yet though, I want to find smaller carbon steel gearstock, nuts, and bolts. Could have welded on the edge a bit more cleanly - next time I think I'll go with a twisted edge, feels more appropriate for the theme.
 
While I appreciate your creativity, I'm not a fan of the finished Damascus pattern. It reminds me of a slice of head cheese.
 
As someone from the south, head cheese is awesome. Really cool looking steel OP. Different for sure.
 
Lol head cheese. I wonder how that stuff all melted together holds up as a blade under stresses.
 
I really dig the pattern.
I looked at it for a few minutes to see if I could figure out some of what was nut's/bolts/gears.

That's more than I can say for repeat pattern Damascus that is getting really uninteresting...

While this in not my kind of knife, I can really appreciate any work that is not just unique, but interesting as well.
 
Haha, I've heard head cheese from quite a few people now; "You can see the gears turning in this headcheese damascus" is catchy
 
I really like it. I dont much care for Damascus but i DO like this!
 
I like the coffin handle and to some extent the blade. The guard not so much.

You are a wild man and go your own way in regards to knife design - kudos for that (as previously mentioned).
 
Thank you. Scout, I do try really hard to do things "different"... lets hope it turns into more money...lol
