[DevinT]

It's a Gishiki Bocho. Snakewood and mokume handle. Stainless composite damascus blade. 330mm blade length.

Ehh... it's alright, I guess. :justkidding:

Absolutely incredible work!

Congratulations. It is one of the most beautiful Japanese styled knives I have ever seen. Much more beautiful than some of the Nenohi and others that have graced the web.

 

[Mike Davis]

That is BADASS!!!!! Very, very nice!

 

[HHH Knives]

Ohhh YEA!!!! :2thumbsup: Thats one sweet looking piece of steel right there!

Hoss your work has always amazed me, the level of excellence shows in each and every piece I have seen.

 

[Jim]

Wow!

 

[Eamon Burke]

Yikes! What's a gishiki?

 

[WillC]

i am at a loss in terms of trying to figure out a way to describe how impressed i am with that damascus. you know - we shouldn't even call it "damascus" anymore because this is something else so far beyond "damascus" that it'd be like calling a category 5 hurricane a "rainstorm"

Beautiful Devin, is that multibar? Or does the basketweave change somehow? Either way, WOW! Well done!

Damascus, this is so beyond damascus. This level of metal craftsmanship is more like Steel Art.

 

[The Edge]

I'm at a loss for words. Simply breathtaking!!

Thank you for explaining it to him...

Haha. Thanks, JC. Does "Darth Rader" sound like that, too?

Hoss, can we see the back side, as well?
