Wow TK, always continue to improve your skills and impress me. I was oiling one of your take down daggers, it’s so detailed and clean,

I dig it! Nice work. Can it be san mai though if it's 22 layers?

San Mai means three layers - it also refers to the process of laminating softer steels to a hard core.

Yes, I've seen this referred to as Damascus San Mai. In a sense there are three layers, but the two outer cladding layers are themselves made up of layers.
