Anybody feel like Japanese?

This is the first project that I have played with Damascus steel. It's a completely different than the 01 steel that I normally use. I really like if!! I can see more of this in the future! This knife is available. Edited May 18, 2015 by sybo

Very nice sybo, the over all contour is excellent.

That is gorgeous! I love Damascus blades, I think they look even better with ivory handles.

[tnhawk]

Very nice work!

[Pete123]

Whoa! That knife is awesome.

[Chris]

beautiful

That's a pretty one. :up: I have a big old piece of Damascus I've been saving for something special cause it's so much more expensive that other stuff.

[crossfire]

Very nice!

[hipower]

Great looking!  My first really expensive, for me anyway, knife was a Damascus blade. They have such character to them.

Same here. My first expensive kitchen knife was a Shun 8" Chef's knife. It's Damsacus steel, looks great, and functions even better. I'll never go back to cheap knives in the kitchen again.

 

sybo, that knife looks like a miniature samurai sword. :up:

That is very a very nice piece. I'd be quite interested in a lighter weight version of that.

Looking good.
It reminds me a "Dosu."

"Dosu (ドス): A very short sword that looks more like a long knife. Easy to conceal, and traditionally carried by Yakuza."

Lol

More like a Tanto or Kwaiken. Not all Tantos have chisel points. We just got used to that style in the US. Nice wood as well as the random pattern steel.

Hattori Hanzō?

No Bill, ka-ta-na.
