Second Sobral!

I recently took delivery of my second knife from Claudio Sobral. Already having one of his choppers, I asked him to make a variant of one of his smaller patterns with desert ironwood scales. As expected, the knife turned out amazing and Claudio was delightful to work with. You can see more of his work at his website: CAS Knives

Steel: San mai 420/1095 - .225" at ricasso

Claudio does some amazing work! I love them both, the only thing wrong with them is that they are yours and not mine. :)
 
Shawn,
They both have excellent design and execution.
I love how he leaves the bark from forging near the spine and the recassio with that harpoon swedge on the smaller one.
