Finished this one up recently and it's looking for a new owner!
Started out as a bar of Randy Haas High Carbon Random Damascus. It has an S Grind to the upper portion of the blade and convexing on the lower portion of the blade. Took it to an 800 hand rub before etching and then a 1200 grit handrub after to smooth out the oxides so it's smoother in the cut.
Choil shot:
Shows the S grind:
Handle is Corian with black G10 spacer and stabilized Golden Curly Acacia from Greenberg woods:
Lots of shimmer and chatoyance in the handle!
$450 CONUS
