Mama always said, "Making San Mai.........

.........is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
Seriously, this one has some rather radical ladder effects from the drawing dies that I just wanted to show off.
This is a real good demonstration of what's happening when using drawing dies.
Now, to finish this thing out.

David, that would really make an interesting combination!
That blade is 5"+ long and 1 1/4" wide at the widest.

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

Somebody else told me it was like the teeth on a two man cross-cut saw.

Stunning...I'm thinking fossilized walrus as well, or maybe mammoth.  It'll be amazing whatever the handle material.

I'll bet whoever told you it was "like a two-man crosscut saw" had a 1st birthday somewhere near mine. Chain saws sorta spelled doom for old ways   :(

Wow Karl! What a cool blade! Can't wait to see the finished knife! Now I'm going to show my ignorance but I have to ask-what is a drawing die? What does it do?  Thanks, mike

Ok... what kind of paint did you use?  Was it air-brushed?  No way that's all metal...   ;)

That thing is just beautiful, Karl.
