Honestly forgot to post this 😂 busy ain’t even the word lol But anyways so not long ago got the call from a friend wanting a custom Santoku ,but this time it was different for sure. This blade was fully customized from the pattern to the handle pins.Every aspect of this blade was designed by the customer and executed by yours truly. The intention of this knife was to be a future family heirloom….which is probably the most humbling sentence I’ve heard 😂😂and led to the best project I have done so far as a blade smith .The end result was a 120 layer hand forged raindrop Damascus Santoku with stabilized maple Burl handles with bronzes pins and black carbon fiber liners. This blade is heated and temperature all professionally,freehand ground and forged over the anvil to shape. Really proud of my self for being able to pull this off honestly. This blade is fully complete, shaving sharp and off to a new home to be passed down for generations 😃
