    Default Damascus and Tamahagane

    Finished recently. Damascus and Tamahagane. The Damascus was made by me, the Tamahagane by Wayne Potratz. The handle is stabilized burl, the bolster fossil bone. The removable scales are from the same pieces of bone and wood.

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

    WOW! Absolutely phenomenal workmanship.

    I hope you are going to report on how it shaves.

    I will. I have it scheduled for tomorrow. And then on Monday or Tuesday it's going to its new owner.
