Mokume Gane a beautiful art , some can look great and others 'stunning' .
Though I've seen so many knives described as Mokume but actually are just the design not the process.
What where the metals used in this pattern ?.

Brass, copper and nickel silver, I sanded it to 800 grit and then etched it with "Formula 44/40" cold gun blue and finished with 0000 steel wool.

I love the organic look of Mokume. I don't think I would care how heavy it was, that is just so beautiful.

That's beautiful!
I think I just stole your inspiration, and may do that to mine!

Beautiful. It's funny, i was thinking i wanted a mokume bolster on one of my k390 mules. I bought a tim wright santoku with copper/sterling mokume bolster and pins and fell in love with mokume. Phil Baldwin made the mokume in my knife. Great job!

Nice. If you get thinner mokume, you could put it over G10 liners or something like that...?

True Mokume brilliant , I did think copper and nickel silver wasn't confident on the brass .
I know gold can be used too though , again -quality .

That would have made some great mule scales or bolsters. That's a very high class slip it. I love mokume gane.
