Went to DSD’s dads place the other day and knocked up a bit of Damascus style steel to make some rabbitt skinners
Two different styles the pink one is for Kenz

They look a treat. I would have to keep that black one tied to me so I wouldn't lose it.

Good work Missed and a good way to spend a weekend. That clear handle does my head in, looks like a Damascus handle.

Thanks fellas
The Damascus is 72 layers off 1750c and 15N20 twisted and shaped by stock removal as compared to Forging
Handles are epoxy cast and shaped on the Blade still thinking what to do with the Handle blade junction and of course a LOT more rubbing
