I LOVE Alabama Damascus Steel, they do a great job of forging. I saw this piece was available and want to do a really cool project! What do we want to see?

The billit looks large enough to make a nice 6 inch chief’s knife.

At first I was thinking maybe a Santoku but your idea is better. You could keep all the nice Damascus lines with a Nakiri.......


Remember, this is all supposed to be for fun...................

How about with these Scales, look at the “Quilt” Patterning of this wood !!!!! It’s origin was Russia, species- unknown. But Damn, it is stunning!! It has been stabilized.
