Folks,
This is the Finished Knife that I've made for a tutorial that will appear on David Darom's 3rd book, "100 Custom Knives in the Making"
I've splitted the Tutorial on 3 "chapters" as it's picture intensive.
The book is to be introduced to the public on Blade 2006, and will show a tutorial of mine on no hammer marks cable forging. Please note that the pictures the book will have are of much much more quality!
This knife will be on David's stand on Blade 2006 for all atendees to check it out in person!
I'd like to thank David for his interest on my knives and for waiting until the last minute until I get my arm good enough to hammer again!

Before looking at the pictures, please keep in mind that in the close up pictures you might see some irregular stuff that in real life isn't really there or not significant at all because of the microscopic nature of it.
