knife bolster

[Akihiro NISHIZAWA]

This is last job this year.
I inlaid brass on stainless, engraved my new design for knife bolster.

Have a happy new year!

very clean looking. nice ! was the brass difficult to inlay ? akihiro: did you make the bolster ? or just engrave on it ?

Hello monk.
Thank you for always watching.

Brass inlay is very difficult. Cut deep trench, and create an overhang in many.
It must be hammered by a strong.
Branching part is particularly difficult because hardly fixed.

cut a 410 stainless steel　in saw, shaping up with a file,finally, I engraved.

Am wondering how the bolster(s?) will attach to the knife. Pins will be hidden or shown.
