damn you do some pretty work. do you do damascus exclusively?

 

[ArielSalaverria]

I do as of now

The Fixed blade/folder collaboration was the last "regular steel" knife I've made.

I might rechange this in the future, but I'm dedicating 100% to damascus now.

There are a lot of damascus that I still haven't made that I want to try, so I need more time to experiment with steels.

As always, Ariel, outstanding work. You seem to always come up with something just a little different. That's getting tough to do.

Those are knives and art work at the same time, I cannot complement you enough on showing how you make them and the end result.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and all of your family
