Really awesome!!!! Who says you have to have a power hammer to make basket weave damascus. This is a hard earned piece of art. Determination and perseverance go a long way. It is a shame that so many young people don't have them any more. My hat is off to you Jr. Keep that up and you will go far.
 
That is fantastic work! Not only is it an excellent first mosaic, but the fact that it's hand hammered makes it purely extraordinary. Do yourself and Jr. a favor and don't you dare sell that knife. That type of effort and craftsmanship should be kept as a reminder. Once you have a press or hammer (face it, it's going to happen at this point, don't even try to fight it... :) ) make plenty more to sell, but this one should be a keeper.
