San Mai Damascus Mini EDC Recurve Knife

[ArielSalaverria]

While moving to a new place I've found this little blade on a virtual corner of my old shop. It's made from a steel combination that my customers really like and since I haven't made a somewhat dressed up little knife in a while, I've decided to use a nice stag and mokume for the handle.

The result is a robust and very usable recurve knife that is light and small enough to carry without realizing its there until you need it.

San Mai Damascus Mini EDC Recurve Knife
San Mai damascus in stainless 304 and 1070 with a 52100 core. 4.5mm / 3/16" thickness.
7 1/4" overall length, 3 3/8" from tip to end of cutting edge. Knife weights 90 grams / 3.2 oz.
Stag handle with copper and nickel silver mokume guard and black micarta spacers. Buttcap in copper and nickel silver mokume with cable and copper pins.

Pictures show the knife without the final edge and with a small mark towards the tip. Of course I will take care of that after I make the sheath for it.

Well done. Very bold. What did you use to bring out the patterns in the Mokume?
