Spyderco Mosaic Damascus tiles

#1

Post by The CoPilot »

Was digging around in my Spydeco holdings and happened across these little "tiles" of mosaic damascus that I had purchased from Ed Schempp some years ago (2007 I think it was). These were pieces that were leftover after he produced the bolster material for the Spyderco 25th Anniversary Delica. I bought the pair of larger tiles from Ed and he very kindly tossed in the smaller one as a gift. Never did get a chance to own a 25th Anniversary Delica, but these tiles were are close as I got. Thought you'd enjoy the pics.

Very cool. There was a giveaway here 10 years ago?, and I won; the prize was a 25th Anniversary tile and an Ed Schempp hat.

Beautiful pieces, you don't see the larger ones very often! I also still cherish my smaller buggy tiles.
