Nice stuff, Mert. Handle pattern almost matches the blade pattern.

What steels are in the Damascus?

I have decided not to take any more custom orders , I will focus on finishing the ones I have committed to and reduce my waitlist to around 3 months before I take customs again . If you have expressed interest, paid deposit or asked me to get into list they are all good , I am working on them

Curious I am! Can't wait to see pics! Western or wa? What materials will you use for the handle?

Haven't decided on wa or western, thinking about using matched Tasmanian Blackwood for the handle and the saya , any suggestions ?

 

[cheflarge]

Tasmanian Blackwood is good, hidden tang western with maybe brass or copper? Matching saya sounds like a good idea, as well. Keep on keepin on, brother. DO WHAT YOU DO!!!

 

[Nemo]

I'd really like to see some more of that Mallee burl. Gorgeous.

That sounds good! I couldn't decide between Western or wa, so many factors to consider... You'll choose and your choice will be good!
