Don't encourage her. Things have gone too far already. Never invite your missus onto your favourite forum.. Sage and serious advice from me that!

Great thread love seeing the build alongs adds to the end product imo seeing it in stages.
Not seen that damasteel pattern before but i'm taken

I picked a new and relatively obscure one. It was a gamble but I'm more than happy with the pattern. I wanted quite a traditional Nordik pattern of the dark ages, that was the closest I could find in the new powder steel tech.

Got a few photos today as shaping started, it was all epoxied up yesterday and left overnight....

And then, par for course, I reach a point where photos go out of the window, I get so caught up in the progress that I just forget, except for changing belts/tools and wheels I don't put the knife down....

The photos are not great, sorry...

Still not 100% there yet, a little more finish and it's edge and spine need sorting, close enough for the next stage though....

It needs some scratches on the bolster

 

[JonathanD]

Gotta put Trunks updated version of this on them first...

Although, it is off to have the presentation box made for it first.

 

[British Red]

Aaaah...see thats some nice scratches

 

[Siberianfury]

Now thats ridiculous, Jonathon, your a lucky man, are you gonna use it?

 

[JonathanD]

Don't know how I'm going to resist having a play or three.

i have to admit, that is stunning, mate the fit and finish of that knife is exceptional, a true craftsman of the highest order, looks like a great user, and a pleasure to look at, ticks all the boxes for me.
