    Default Complex twisted damascus in black pearl kirinite

    This is something I have been working on since I got my power hammer. I wanted to make some damascus with more complexity. I discussed it with Mike Blue and he gave me some tips.

    The damascus is a laminate that was crushed orthogonally to the initial layers and restacked several times. Then I made a san mai with a piece of O2 in the middle, and then twisted everything.

    Another stunner, Bruno-That saw-tooth spine reminds me of dragon's scales or something. Love the damascus and matching kirinite scales, too!

    I think that spine could do more damage than the edge
    Looks amazing.

    Love the blade and scale materials. Maybe in the future, he says with a sigh.
