Thats really cool, that copper matches up really good with the sheepshorn and the san mai:thumbup:
 
This beauty has been on my mind all day.
Might you have more pics.
I would appreciate it.

Oh, copper! I was wondering what san mai "capper" was...

Very interesting blade shape. Is there a particular use that it is good for?

Edit: I forgot to mention, i love the rustic sheath.
 
That is one nice knife. You do some great work . The way you did the tapers to the center's heavy thickness is outstanding and well fitted to the blade and handle shape as is your choice of materials for both. Have I missed some thread or how too on sheep horn that someone would direct me too. Thanks
 
Beautiful work Ruben-I love how the horn and damascus look together-thanks for sharing:thumbup:
 
"Thanks for the kind comments. This is a knife to use it to castrate farm animals and skin game, that can be also be used for general everyday chores":)
