Ok guys, here is the latest out of the shop. Let me start by saying that im a huge fan of Claudio Sobral's work, and his knives very much influenced the making of this blade.
This is a forged blade. I forged to shape as much as I could while not messing with the core alignment. This blade has some of the wildest figure of any san mai blade ive ever made. Pics just dont show all the chatoyance in there. I hope you all like this knife as much as I liked making it. All work is sole authorship. I make my own san mai, and damascus, as well as my own leather. Thanks for looking

One of the most beautiful slabs of bocote ive ever seen.

Fantastic work here man! Stunning! The second to last pic gives a great look at the figure of the blade, I can only imagine how impressive it is in person.
 
That is really something Mason. I would not have an easy time selling it were I you... Just fabulous. Russ
 
Thanks guys!

Russ- I know man. Even when I plan on making a knife for myself, a Bill is due and I can't keep it. Lol one day though!

Martin- thanks bro. I really appreciate it!
 
Pics aren't showing up for me Mason. I'm too broke to buy but I'd sure love a look. :) I tried on my laptop and my tapatalk phone app and couldn't see em.
