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!
