San Mai Nessmuk in the making

ArielSalaverria · Oct 24, 2006

A customer of mine liked my Nessmuk knives (I gotta admit I didn't even know this style of knives before a now regular client introduced them to me) but wanted something in damascus and very usable.

San mai was the obvious choice

This one has a 52100 core with 1010 and stainless 304 on the sides.

Ruben Calo did the filework on the spine

Thanks for looking!

That is going to be another awesome knife for sure. As a Nessmuk knife lov er myself, I have to say yours are by far the most attractive I have seen. Your customers write great things about your skills, and the way you have treated them. Great job!

I just finished the knife, sheath is still to be made

Steel is 1070 (not 1010) and stainless 304, with a 52100 core.
4" handle in axis deer stag and leather/enameled copper spacers.

Pommel in matching 1070/304 damascus (looks yellowish because of the lightning)

Thanks for looking!

Awesome!!!

I bet the customer is itching to get his hands on it now after seeing the great pics

Looking forward to it...

To All,

Ordering a knife from Ariel was/is/will be a great experience. He communicates very through the whole process and will do anything you ask, really. His talent is evident from the pics and the prays he normally gets, but I'll be sure to drop another line when it arrives.

Thanks again Ariel
