bigfootnampa Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 This is the nearly flawless type of work we've come to expect from you! The sheath design is quite unusual! I am not quite sure how the sheath's single slot is intended to work. Very cool stuff though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker Bo Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 That's beautiful. I'm working on my first San Mai ( cable and band saw blade) right now. I've made a copper bolster and have been searching for a patina look that I like. If you don't mind me asking how did you achieve that color on your copper . Thanks .
