hey Everyone!
here is the second knife i have finished recently. I made this damascus out of Aldo's 1084 and 15n20. it was originally going to be a full tang knife, but i no kidding sneezed while grinding one of the plunges, and it became a "hybrid" with soldered copper collar. it is a very light, fast knife that feels good in your hands, and is razor sharp, but because of the convex grind the edge is quite robust.

OAL: 13"
Blade length (including Collar) 8"
Blade material: 32 layers of 1084 and 15n20
Handle material: Stabilized redwood burl
Wrought iron guard, and brass pin

I am asking $400 shipped OBO for this knife. If you are interested, please contact me at Knifemaker87@gmail.com

I read your homepage and just want to compliment you. For a maker of your young age and using your equipment that is a truly fine knife. It's obvious that, combined with a lot of hard work, you're a "natural". Congratulations.
 
This is a really cool looking blade with fantastic lines. :thumbup:

The only thing I would change on it would be to make the guard a bit bigger.
 
Surprised that beauty is still unsold Chris....it will only go up in value as your young career blossoms along with your fine skills. And for being only 23 years old, I imagine a long and prosperous career indeed!
 
I love the handle grinds bud, very unique. if this is how you are going at this early stage, look out!!!
