I am new to ABS and pretty new to bladesmithing. Hope to take some classes soon with a local MasterSmith David Lisch. Just waiting for this virus stuff to slow more before we get together.
The damascus is my first go around making some and doing anything with it. The other 2 are attempts at a bowie and a tanto style blade. Any and all comments, critiques are more than welcome. Thanks all
I limited pics to 1000x1000 but I think they are too big. sorry Forum moderators, i will next time make them much smaller.
Your file size for the forum is fine. Thanks for following the rules!!!

Thanks....I am really excited to interface with Mr. Lisch. This pandemic has put a slow down on that.
Thanks for all the knowledge in your posts!!! I've been delving heavy into this forum and the info is overwhelming and awesome. I've got a loooooong way to go, but love this life long journey and the learning.
