damascus knife

[Ste82]

Hi to everybody!
This is a knife i've just finished, it is an 11 cm damascus steel daga, from the Italian knife maker Leonardo Frizzi.
The front bolster is characterized by the head of the ancient god Hermes, and a few of gold inlay.
I hope you like it!

never mind sorry..it took sometime to load...what grit did you use for sanding? 600grit?

thanks

 

[Ste82]

I have used 600 grit to remove the initial damascus pattern, after the iron chloride bath i've used a worn 1200 grit to slightly remove the black coat that it cause and unveiling the damascus pattern, as normal engravings after shading i didnt touch the knife...

in this photo you can see the damascus pattern on the finished knife, it is not too strong to not overcome the engraving...
