November 2, 201411 yr Hello, Long time no post... But I brought something that you might like to know: an exotic wood from Brazil that I used on this handle. Let's take a look! Steel: Damascus 1080x15n20 396 layers twisted pattern Wood: Sibipiruna (and something that I would call it as a bolster, made from Imbuia). Forged knife with 15cm lenght blade and 12 cm of handle. Finished with cyaniacrylate Quenched in oil 1 cycle of tempering at 240ºC during about one hour ( till the blade gets light yellow color). It's good to mention that, as I did on my other BBQ knife posted here, I grinded it on just one side, so one side of the blade is completly flat, like the edge of sushi knives. And the thickness of the blade is 3mm (0.117') I know that you like: PHOTOS!
