San Mai Damascus EDC and Greetings

[Nick Rossi]

Hey Knife Fans,

This is my first post here so I thought I would give you a breif intro. My name is Nick Rossi and I have been making knives for about 11 years. I am a bladesmithing instructor at the New England School of Metalwork and also a full time blacksmithing apprentice. Trying to find out as much as I can about metalworking before I die.

This is a simple EDC that I whipped up to see what the steel combo looked like. The core is Aldo's 1084M and the damascus is a combo of wrought iron, 15n20 and more 1084M. The handle is hard laid cotton twine.

I look forward to hear what you all think.

Cheers,

Nick

Welcome nice knife. I love Aldos 1084m it's great stuff to work with. I like to handle wrap it's nice to see something different than the usual wraps I see.

Thats one fine looking knife! Really like that wrap on the handle. What steel ended up being the cutting edge?
