Looks like this one is SOLD.

I'll make a small criollo out of this same steel soon

Ariel,

Very cool indeed.

Did you make this in a canister like the stainless tutorial on your website?
Thin strips of 304 and 316 and a thicker piece of D2?

Or did you make the stainless damascus first and add the D2 separately?

thanks

Mark

Exactly like that. With a kerosene soaked ball of kitchen paper at the bottom to burn and consume the oxigen

Kind of like this, but with the added D2 for the san mai
