Something a bit different. These is a cake server archaeology trowel and cake knife. Both done in stainless steel with CZ108 Admiral Brass blades (it's lead free so it also works for food). Handle is light elm burl with purple and gold resin. A truly unique set for an archaeologists wedding.

Special request. Extra long Damascus steel pairing knife. I used 2 layers of 15n20 and 2 layers of En45 steel folding it 5 times to achieve 128 layers. Then forged that into a square bar, twisted it, folded in half and flattened it again. Total layers should be around 256.

The handle is some interesting yew burl with black and gold resin.
