Just got this finished. 1080 / 15N20 forged ladder 180 layers Stainless fittings Spalted Maple stabalized.
Another great looking knife. I dunno what it is, but there's just something especially appealing about scandis. I have a question for you. I'm always impressed by the way the different materials go together in your knives and it makes me wonder if you plan everything out ahead of time, or wait until the blade is finished to see what works best with the pattern?
Sometimes I just put it together. Other times I have a specific piece of wood in mind for a certain blade.
