"One of my Favorites"

I called this one "Molten Lava" because of the bubbled damascus pattern. The scales are Tigerstriped Box Elder with red fiber spacers. The trim at the shank perimeter is "purfling" and is hand laid ebony and holly. This is commonly used in violins and guitars to give larger, edge glued surfaces some perimeter or "hoop" strength. The bolsters are dyed elder burl scraps. I use a 1/4" diameter brass lug with my initials machined thru with an EDM for my signature mark. Sadly, It is sold.
Thanks for looking.

This was a great blade. I miss it, but we can't keep everything and continue. You don't see this pattern often but it's more of a "crushing" on edge when hammering than the usual neat folding or twisting pattern. Thanks for Looking.
 
Boy, that looks great. There are a lot of details on that one. Thanks for posting the pics.
