Title: San Mai "Blackie"
Post by: kbaknife on March 20, 2012, 08:26:00 PM: One I'm taking along to the Janesville Badger show this weekend.
1095 and 416 San Mai blade with a fantastic chunk of Blackwood for the gripper.
Been a long week.
Three Damascus blades to hot blue tomorrow.

Lin, you are correct - I hadn't even noticed until now. Of course, when it's in your hand, only one side at a time can be seen.
Now I see how even it is.
I don't take the credit - the press did it.
