Ryan,
Yes, I do, I am one of the few people who can make it.
I have made quite alot of it in the past, but not lately.
I hve several meteorites here that I traded for a couple of years ago.

The first one(in the second batch) is amboynia burl and the bolster is maple burl. (this is a new damascus pattern as well-let me know how you like it)
The second one is amboynia burl and maple burl bolster.
The third one is spalted wormy oak burl(this stuff is so cool!!!) and maple burl bolster

That damascus is ... well, I've run out of adjectives. Stunning, beautiful, way cool, sick...

Anyway, I really like it.

The suji is about 45mm tall at the heel.
Thanks,

Geeze, I don't even know where to begin. Those knives look incredible. I can't think of anything else to say. :moonwalk:

Warren,
I hope that none of these will be, however as soon as I get home I will be working on more for the ECG. I have 2 more in progress and 2 bars of damascus and I still have more of all the handle materials I have used so far, and I may pick up some more this weekend.

Damn. I've admired your knives since your first post over at the old forum. They look super functional and awesome. That sujihiki looks just like my favorite size/shape. Almost more of a short gyuto. Awesome stuff!!
