    Wow...

    Lovely damascus Ed! One pattern on one side, and another patten on the other (I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me!).

    I wonder myself, how does Ed do it, the man is an artist.

    Artist indeed. I think I am going to have to spend some serious money. I now need a Schempp damascus blade. Hmm..Schempp tomahawk also sounds interesting.

    Perhaps an original Schempp Kris might do the trick? Posts 25 and 27.

    Bees and Hive

    A friend had given me a bunch of 9620 hex rod and after a couple of years I figured out how to assemble a billet with nickel between the hex rods. After I made the "hive" I had to make bees to compliment the hive. Using damask, steel and nickel I made mosaic bees, the wings are forged cable. The first two bees were in 5 inch cube billets. I constructed a loaf of 4 chunks of 64 bees and 4 chunks of hive. I inverted the slabs I cut from the loaf and San Maied the material that is in Jens blade.

    Jens and I think alike on a lot of knife topics. He has a very good understanding on how to use the material. Jens and I are talking about some very personalized material to be used in future projects...Take Care...Ed

    The mosaic damascus looks amazing Mr. Schempp. Any more collaborations in the works.
    There ain't no rules around here. We're trying to accomplish something.

    Mahalo #9 for this thread!

    Totally "grail worthy"!!! I used to wonder how Ed did these damascus wonders, but stopped before I'd go nutz! Now, I just kick back and look at 'em like this:

    Beautiful as always Mr. Schempp! Great construction Mr. Anso! And great seeing you again #9!!!
