Here's the glam shots of the second damacus knife, blade by @jamiahmahoney, in an ongoing set for someone local, using epic maple that they supplied. They watched this tree with a burl grow their entire life until it had to be cut down last year. They were able to hold on to the wood and are now having Jamiah and I do our thing!

Managed to get two laps in on the Baptism river today. Lil' toke of river goodness...last whitewater for me was Marsh creek/Middle/Main Salmon way back in May. Sheeeesh.

@_._.zzharackzz._._ and I set safety whilst @moon9059 laid treats at ilgen falls.

Sold!

This maasepän puukko is the one I made, with just a wood rasp and sand paper, as I taught 8 students to do the same this weekend. Its been claimed, but I can make anoootheeerrr!

The blade is 104mm long, and the handle is my own very special Minnesota masurbjörk. The only of its kind ever to have been found here. Message me if you are either interested in a knife like this, or want to geek out about wood.

Sold! This one is now claimed, but more like it

Sold!

This one is now claimed, but more like it can be custom ordered. Blade is about 110mm

I threw this one together yesterday as I finished prepping for the maasepän class. I wanted to have an aditional knife at class with an ideal handle shape for students to see as an example to strive for, as well as the demonstration maasepän puukko that I'll be making as I teach them.
