My first WIP Mosaic damascus "Sujihiki"

Wow! Looking like an outstanding blade Randy! I can't wait to see it etched either!!
Great WIP...you and Randy Jr. make quite a team....wish I could have done something like this with my dad.
Fond memories are being made....
 
Thanks guys.. Its truly a blessing to have Jr in the shop.. Thanks for the great complement!

Today I finished sanding the blade and prepping it.. Took it to mirror finish. By using Norax belts. Starting at 100 and working my way down to 15. Then I did filework from the tip all the way around the handle.. And finally.. What I had bee waiting for all day.. I dipped it in ferric to etch it.. :) WOW. Its amazing, if I do say so myself!!!!!

Here are some photos of the finished blade.. etched and ready for handles!

WOW! That is an amazing piece of work! You guys never cease to amaze me with your damascus work.
 
Wow is right - That blade came out fantastic!! You guys do some really good work together, but I think you already know that though. Thanks for doing the WIP, I know I found it to be fascinating.
 
Thanks Guys, Jr. and I make a good team! This one has been quite a challenge. but we endured and overcome the challenges.. and by your kind responses to the thread. I know it was worth it.. But I will say Ill be even happier when this bad boy is completed and delivered. :)

On a side note, Im heading to the lake for some much needed R&R. Talk to ya all when we get back!

God Bless!
Randy
