extra short, extra powerful.





meched and heat-colored "MOSIAC X-OUT" damascus boltie pair



brazed, etched and heat-colored muonionalusta meteorite pair
YES, THIS IS MADE FROM AN ACTUAL METEORITE!!! no joke. the pattern is completely natural (well, more like extraterrestrial...but i had nothing to do with it!). the top two pictures show the pieces that i make these from. you can see the crusty shape that the meteorites were before they were sliced up.




brazed, etched and heat-colored muonionalusta meteorite liner




rogers widow. the big sister shader of this one went out last year.
