I want to share with you guys a chopper I recently received from Claudio Sobral. Claudio is an amazing craftsman and I can only hope that one day my knives will be half as nice as his! You can see more of his work at his website: http://www.casknives.com/cuchillos/

Measurments: 13.2" overall / 8" blade
Scales: Urunday

I agree! There's a wonderful WIP on Ryan Week's site showing his collab with Claudio. In the WIP you can see how Claudio gets the amazing disruptive pattern of his san mai. You can see it here: http://ryanwknives.blogspot.com/2013/04/cas-ryanw-collaboration-knife.html
