New Damascus Pieces part 1

It's been awhile since I've posted, and for that I apologize. I wanted to share the first four pieces from a group of ten that I'm working on. All ten are made from Chad Nichols' stainless damascus, and the pieces from the Makemake "family" have predrilled glowdot holes for those who wish to add a glowdot to their piece. The solo piece above is a Lizard Makemake. Next post will have pics of the other 3 pieces individually. Thanks for looking!:)

Titanium Trio with Titanium Clips

Here are a couple of pics of the front and back of the first 3 of the titanium clip tools, including the one from the pics/post below. On the next two, I added a small mosaic pin to each of them. I only have a couple more in titanium to finish up for now, and then will begin working on the batch of S30V tools that will have these same titanium clips.

The Titanium Version

Here are the first pictures of the titanium version of the Steel Flame collaboration tool shown below. These are a little thinner and lighter than the steel (CPM S30V) pieces; otherwise, the dimensions are pretty much the same. The tool and clip are both 6Al4V titanium. Derrick of Steel Flame is responsible for how nicely the clips came out, including the stone-tumbled finish. Keep your eyes on the website for a few of these very soon:)

I will also be doing the first official "run" of the S30V versions (other than the few that were at The Gathering) shortly.
