Long time nothing to tell you guys... and recently made a few.
Three working horses left, and a couple found new homes, could not even make photos of them, sorry.

All the blades came from well known Russian bladesmith, hand forged, exceptional quality and cutting abilities, very sharp and have superb edge retention.
Hollow grind on all blades.
All knives have hidden tang construction on epoxy through almost whole handle and I love to work with highest quality real exotic wood :)

Knife No1
Stainless steel blade made from Russian steel 95X18, which can be considered to be close analogs of AUS8 / ATS34 / 154CM
Cutting edges are forged to HRC 58-59. Tested and it's an excellent slicer!
Blade thickness - 3.7 мм
Bronze, black micarta, amboyna burl.

Damascus blades on this and two other knife below have over 500 layers of folded and welded steel and made from four types of Russian steel - steel for bearings ШХ15, tool steel У7 and stamp steels 4Х2Н4МФ, 4ХВМФС
(Approximate analogs would be, accordingly, 154CM / ATS34, D2, W108, 52100)
Differential head treatment. Cutting edges are forged to HRC 59-60, spine a bit softer.
Blade thickness - 5 мм
African Eben, simulated ivory (elforin), bronze, black micarta.

These are Fenix knives aren't they - I think his work is tremendous. I am currently working on a deal with them to bring his knives to the US as a dealer.
