Or did he insert extra pieces of 1084 in between layers of damascus? Enquiring minds wantot know.Looks really good - and that Buckeye Burl is amazing. Now, the blade - that's twist. Did you use thick 15N20 and thin 1084 to get the narrow black strips and wider brighter stripes?

This was a particularly difficult knife to photograph well, and the pictures show that.Or did he insert extra pieces of 1084 in between layers of damascus? Enquiring minds wantot know.![]()
OK, thanks for that photo - the closeup of the blade shows what you're talking about with many thin layers of 1084/15N20 and a few layers of thicker 1084. That does create an interesting pattern. I don't think I've seen that technique before. I find all the different Damascus patterns interesting.
Thanks. I'll send you a PM.That is a beautiful knife! What does one like that sell for?
