Amazing filework

I like the cactus and the Damascus contrast. I'm already a fan of Alabama Damascus stuff, but that combo (especially with the bolsters and the decorative pins) just really sets everything off perfectly.

Very nice.

if you have a busy blade and a busy handle you need a brake up there, I thought the 416 stainless bolster might just accomplish that. Some time I hit and some times I strike out, I have not heard back from the guy who ordered it yet, lets hope he likes it...

That's beautiful! I want that full-length scrollwork over-and-under on my pair you're doing up, too!

And the next one I have you do for me I may go with that cactus. Love it!

I have no idea what kinds of options there are until I see something new you've done... how do I learn more about what's available to use? I have never heard of using some of the materials you use... stabilized cactus and pinecone, etc.


You gonna do me a kukri?
