Since I happen to have these two together, I though about posting them to show how the same material can produce very different styled knives.

Top one is my "regular style" when people ask me for full chain knives.

Second one is more traditional, but with something that I wanted to to for some time now and never managed to accomplish til now.

The butt end of the knife is loose chain, followed by some welded but natural chain looking end of tang, than then transform to a fully damascus san mai blade. All from the same chain piece and forging capsule.

Super cool. I’ve always admired your creativity and talent. Ever since I saw your cable knife maybe 10 years ago
 
Ariel, I just saw this thread again today and your pics as well. I have updated my original post to compliment your amazing work, and I hope we can see more soon.
