240mm blade. The damascus is random pattern from 15n20 and 1084 carbon steels. I was aiming for about 200 layers with this billet but forged thick and ground many of those layers away. The results are quite low layering at the rear of the blade and much tighter layers at the tip. The handle is ringed gidgee with a stainless pin, the spacer is zirconium. All transitions between pin handle spacer and blade have had a micro heirlooming to ensure no sharp corners emerge as the timber expands and contracts with changes in humidity. The balance point is right on the makers mark - with the swooping plunge lines the knife fits and balances perfectly in a pinch grip.
