here are pics of two knives I have made. The Damascus was made in a canister with powdered steel with a thimble of ash from his cremation. This was made with the help of Indian George and Gary Rua.
I know some may think the idea to be a bit odd, but I have thought very seriously of doing the same thing with Arashi's ashes Stu. I would really like a new combat knife incorporating her ashes in the steel to take with me on my next deployment.
