This is a very stylish piece of kit. Founded on solid materials and construction. A quality post, Marcus.

As for the dreads. I was a punk in the late 70’s, early 80’s and think I might go back to spiked hair one day, perhaps to freak the other inmates when I go into a retirement home. Your never too old.

absolutely beautiful fusion of two crafts :)
love the grain of the metal on this piece.

Beautiful marking knife you made there.

beautiful knife. Damascus steel looks amazing, it must be so satisfying to make your own blades!

Nice blade and handle!

About the hair, plain long hair is far easier to maintain (mine is 60 centimeters, give or take)

-- Thomas - There is no such thing as a problem, there only are solutions.

Your marking knife looks like old school Japanese tool making

the Japanese metalworking shows the same graining. My mom use to work at the Higgins Armory located in Worcester, Massachusetts. and one of the museum workers explained how a Samaria sword blade was made by folding the metal over 500 times, this what I think of every time I see workmanship like this.

Great Job.

Hey Marco! Quality work dude. I’m slightly jealous, but in a good way! We have a knifemaker in our area who does the most amazing things with the Damascus steel he forges.
