    Default Damascus in bone and ivory

    This is an earlier blade that never got scales, and I still had the prototype blanks I made for my tamahagane project. I put 1 and 1 together.

    The bone is buffalo, and the resin is blue and red, just poured one on top of the other without stirring.
    Scales like this are always backed with carbon fiber, and sealed on the front side with CA to prevent stress cracks.

    This is actually a fun way to make scales because you can do so much in terms of colors. The only caveat is that once you start pouring, there are no backsies .

    Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

    Haha yeah no worries. Things like this are really love it or hate it.
    It went to a guy who saw it and just had to have it, and bought it as his first ever custom.

    Nice work. The pattern in that Damascus has a very organic look to it.
