Bruce you said," The blade is dual mosaic Damascus", but upon closer inspection of this "Dual Mosaic pattern, I see 2 emerging images from the tip to just above the guard, the first one was of what I can only best describe as a cowboy/clown, while the other it turns out to be of alien origin, it starts off as what looks like a flying saucer, morphs into a whimsical design then turns into something egyptian, except the eye is lazy looking, then of all things looks like a space bear!!!! Or a bear with some sort of breathing apparatus on it!!! You know how this will be seen a thousand years from now and UFO researchers will want to know " just why you added that to your work????" and there will be at least one wild haired .phd up there saying, "It's because they were talking to the Space Bears!" but why the cowboy clown stands out with so much more dominance they will never know, or the space bear is watching over the cowboy clown!
You just kill me with your, "dual mosaic Damascus!!! Bruce this pattern needs a name!!! As gorgeous as it is, it should be named no doubt in my mind!
Oh, you will have to zoom way in to Caleb's extraordinary images, the first one is all ya got to zoom into start at the tip and work your way back.
Bruce how many times have you used this pattern? I can't say I recall seeing it, but it is grand and I do believe you will have made a king very happy, if he's not, tell him to send it to me, it'll make me smile for a few thousand lifetimes!
