Looks.....well, Like pots and pans, bowls of soup, or mushroom caps?  Or have you seen DimSum in a Chinese place? All those little covered dishes stacked up, holding surprising little dumplings in all different shapes and sizes? Yea you could call it dim sum.  

Are you sensing a one track mind here???????

I like it a lot, Lin. Please show us the finished knife when that happens. I know it is going to be spectacular. What are the dimensions?

Speaking of spectacular, the knives you made for me that I had Scott Teaschner create sheaths to carry them in are to die for.    http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=110;t=004407    The knives arrived without a final sharpening. I put quick handheld edges on them in about 15 minutes, and now my left hand is completely hairless. Those gorgeous Damascus blades took edges that have to be used to believe. I did keep the angle of the bevels on the edges as shallow as your profile allowed, and now I have two knives that shave like straight razors. WOW!!! I also noticed that each blade has a very distinct hamon, even in the Damascus, which I can also see in the pictures, now that I know it is present and look closely. Scott got the sheaths to fit perfectly and to look like they were made for the knives -- wait, they were!

Thanks guys.

I'm glad you like the knives Allan. Scott's work is amazing.

This blade is 6 inches long and will have a ferrule/bolster and no cross guard. The handle will be undyed Giraffe Bone. So it will be creamy white.

Lin, that picture was really a tease. Could you show us the clamp you have there to press the guard tight? Looks like a set screw to secure the rear of the clamp to the tang and then it opens to press on the guard?

Great fit!!! I like the guard press. It looks much better designed than mine. I may just have to build a version of it for myself.
