At the end of the month, we are having a silent auction for my sister in law, she recently had some medical bills piling up due to cancer, so our community is raising some funds to help her family out.  I have decided to donate two knives and a wine rack to add to the auction, this is the first knife Ive made that will hopefully be sold.

 

I used a bit of etchant from my pattern welded steel to show the hamon, I'm not sure if this is the right way to highlight it, but I like how it turns out.  The handle shape didnt come out quite how I wanted, but it feels good in the hand.

Thanks for looking!

I dig it! Great looking knife.

I finished the second blade,  hope you guys like it! 

 

Brass pins,  aluminum bolster and butt.   Forged 1095,  some wood I got off eBay.   I'm not sure what it is exactly.
