I'm finally back with the epic finale of my handforged damascus trilogy and this time I can actually show a functional knife. The blade is made from 20 layers of 15n20, 1095 and O2 that were twisted. The spacers are brass and the handle is, as always, some unlabeled hardwood that I don't know the name of. If you do please let me know below.
