Great looking fighter. Love the lines, the handle looks like it can't be anything other than comfortable in hand. Bet it is fast!

Have to agree that this is a wonderful knife. The handle shape with the flats is so appealing.
I think the ferrule works with the blackwood. Almost a zebra pattern that with the blackwood lends the hint of an african carving.

Proportions and relative shapes all work exceptionally well together. Very very nice.

Well, Bill, I'm going to have to partially agree with you. However, what I think might be the problem is not totally the spacer but rather the use of the non-damascus guard. By tying it all together, the whole composition would come together. Now regarding the spacer. Narrowing it a bit and carving it as is usually seen in a ferrule would work.

Murry, Thanks I thought that this configuration looked good before it was all glued togetherand I could have made changes. But after the glue had set up and it was too late to change anything I had the very same idea that you just mentioned.

Bill I really like what you did on the spine and how it works with the clip. was your black wood stable or not?

Thanks Dave. The wood came from AKS but not stabilized

 

[Keith Montgomery]

I would think that due to the exceptionally high density of blackwood, that it wouldn't require stabilizing.

Very Very nice work. Downright elegant lines.

Bill,

Thanks for the close-up on the steel, that's a really pretty damascus. The more I look at this knife, the more elegant I find the combinations of curves, planes wood, and steels. I think it all works together well.
