Not sure if I've shared on this forum that I had shoulder surgery on May 2nd?
Anyway - I'm not much for forging right now. I might try forging next week.
But, I've had to put something together for the Atlanta Blade Show coming up.
Most of my knives are forged from either billets of San Mai, Damascus, or large round bar W1 and W2.
My current handicap gave me the opportunity to use some  of the 'newer' 80CrV2 for stock removal.
This is the "Bear Track".
Handle is silk cord wrapped in Samurai style over sting ray skin.

When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki
