Silver Wire Inlay
Silver wire inlay can provide a beautiful enhancement to a knife handle. Master Smiths Joe Keeslar and Jay Hendrickson have taught many classes at American Bladesmith Society hammer-ins about this art and are both nationally known for their work in this medium. I have obtained detailed outlines of their instructions complete with photos of the steps, patterns, and tools used in silver wire inlay.

Thank you so much for these two tutorials. Both are helpful in their own way so having them each to look at is great.
I plan on applying this to some knives once I get the tools rounded-up.
