Hello everyone! Here are some of my most recent blades. Thank you in advance for checking out my work, I greatly appreciate it! I post more work in progress pictures on my instagram: Lodato_Knives if that is something that interests you.
This one is W2 with a hamon, forged flats, ironwood bolsters, blackwood pommel, copper two tone pins with a blackwood core, and copper and black g10 spacer/liner.


These next two were a pair made of cpm154cm with satin bevels, mill scale flats, blackwood carbon fiber bolsters, ivory paper micarta pommel, copper pins with a black g10 core, and black g10 and copper spacer/liner.





This last one is again W2 with a hamon (I'm starting to get better results with my differential heat treat), ironwood menuki, carbon fiber, and an ito cord wrap. I attempted to make a hartfield style sheath with kevlar fabric lining.
