This is another of the Pictorial mosaic patterns I have been playing with.
I saw a photo on the news showing Maui in the distance from the Lahaina side on the island, I thought I could make that shape so I decided to try and then auction off the knife with 50% going to Maui Strong, a 501C that is doing a lot of great work in Maui to help recover from the wild fires. Auction will be on my instagram page starting tomorrow (9/23/2023)
Specs 8" blade
13" OV
2.125 heel
7.5 OZ
Blade 1080/1084/1095 and 15n20 steel
Handle Figured stabilized Koa
furniture, sterling silver (bolster butt cap and pins)
bolster was cast, but the butt cap is fabricated and is Bezel set in place.
This is awesome work and for a great cause! I have many questions for you about this project, but I'll save em until I make more damascus and will better understand.
Thanks for sharing.
