I really like this knife. It is made from 256 layer damascus that I forged and ground grooves in the blade before forging in order to make a sunburst pattern. In retrospect, I would have ground more grooves, but the pattern is visible. I polished the damascus instead of leaving it with high contrast between the steels because it makes for a more subtle pattern, and allows the light to catch it as you move it, and the effect looks more three dimensional.
The handle is stabilized spalted sycamore. I sculpted the handle to fit the hand really well, and it is all held together with pins and G-flex epoxy. It is really comfortable and I find myself holding it and waving it around whenever it is handy. (Not real safe, but impossible to resist)
The sheath is 8-9oz hand tooled leather. I get my leather from Wickett and Craig because of the quality. The sheath is made specifically for this knife, and it holds it securely and lets it draw easily.
Dimensions
Blade - 6" tip to handle
OAL - 10 3/4"
Price - $335 shipped to US. I prefer paypal, but will accept check or money order.
