Custom Damascus sashimi knife
The details
The House on Lizard is a high-end luxury retreat, and so wanted a bespoke, high end sashimi knife for their kitchen. Having just got my new 12 ton press, this high layer count billet was a lot easier on arm to forge out! Starting as a 16-layer stack of alternating 1084 and 15N20 it was drawn out, cut into 7, re-stacked and re-drawn out again form a 112 layer billet.
The process was repeated again, with some thicker pieces of 1084 added in to end up with over 1000 layers, with a bold dark twist running though the Damascus pattern.
Finished with a textured copper bolster, and gorgeous Cooktown Kerosene wood handle and honed to be shaving sharp, it was delivered in a custom presentation box complete with The House's Lizard logo. Definitely one of my most favourite builds.
