Hi AST. That's a great pattern. Looks really sharp. Did you use the big woodcutting band saw blades?

Default wood and pins

The wood is called epay it is an exotic wood from south americavery hard. It was scrounged from a deck being built.The pins are threaded brass and the handle and tang was tapped then the rod screwed and epoxyed in. The saw blades where about 3/4 " to 1" inch wide.

Very nice Aaron! I like the low layer count too, and the materials are so simply available yet so versatile. It's what I used in my first knife, although wider pieces
