Really beautiful end product: I love the idea and look of this copper damascus. My favorite part was that sweet alignment. Excellent job, sir! I really enjoy how you make this look so relaxed and easy but the forethought and planning for this is so apparent by the end.

Thank you very much, I did spend quite a few hours working on this knife, sometimes challenging to get all of that across in the video, so it's nice that you saw it!

It looks like an Argentinian Creole verijero knife
