Ahwi Uyoi - 'tribal' style knife with a simple design - damascus blade, and deer bone handle - PM

Hi everyone

Today, I'm showing off a freshly finished knife. It's a kind of simple "tribal" knife made for a friend who attends various Native American gatherings or better say some sort of living history camping events or such. I'm no expert on this topic, but I hope it won't offend him.

See you with another knife next time...

Very nice kit. Not a fan of the Damascus but I rarely am. On this knife in particular, it seems incongruous. No matter, I really like the overall package.

Thanks guys!

Thank you for your point of view! I see this particular damascus as wild and chaotic, more like some kind of folded steel or "oroshigane" (I'm not sure of the correct English term). In the end, when the knife gets polished by use and develops its own patina, I think it will look more like this kind of steel and quite different. Anyway, I understand what you meant, and you weren’t the only one who felt that way!
