Description
Blade: Twist pattern damascusHandle: Blue fossilized brain coral
OAL: 6"
My only wish, is that I had etched the damascus a little deeper. Regardless, I love how it came out. I did this one a little more traditional, as far as the grind goes. It has a chisel grind, which I didn't do on the first kiridashi that I made. I also made a tanto to go with this, which I'll be posting in a few days.
As promised, once my Facebook hits 10k likes, which I'm about 131 likes from getting, I'll do a tutorial. It will be a video tutorial, as well as an article style tutorial that I will post on here. My plan is to do two of them. One in celebration of me actually being caught up and a second for my facebook. One of the tutorials will be over a cleaver, because cleavers are awesome! For the cleaver I'll do a picture a day on my facebook, kind of like the tutorial I did on here ages ago. Then when it's done, I'll compile it all and put it on here. To keep my dA as clean looking as possible.
I mean...I could have OCD or something. lol
Anyway! Fun stuff is coming as well as me being around a little more.

Nah, I think you got the damascing (is that a word?) just right. I don't like these knives where they put a really heavy damascus etch on the blade, it makes it look false. Better to have it nice and subtle like this.

So I've always wondered. Despite being so prettypretty, Corals being corals, won't they whiten over time?.. D:

I'm not sure how it will effect it, being that it's dyed and stabilized. I've had this piece for about a year and a half. I typically keep all of the fossil pieces, ivory, coral, and things like that for at least a year before using them. Just to see how they will change within that year of me owning them. None of the ones that I have changed. Most were sealed, which is what I do after I finish with them anyway. Beyond that, I do not know. In 10 years this piece might come back to me whitish-blue.

Ahh makes sense~ Thanks for the explanation! Being from an island country with a whole bunch of coral reefs it was a bit confusing XD.

What angle do you grind your knives usually and what angle is the ground at?

I don't really measure the angle that I grind.

that is amazing! gorgeous patterns on the blade, and the handle is fantastic... love the textures.

i'm also really a fan of the way the angles within the textures come together where the handle meets the blade. i'm not sure if that was intentional, but it's a neat detail that i'm sure it's owner will appreciate...
again, this is wonderful work. <3
