Blackwood and Black Lip Pearl

[J. Doyle]

Just finished this little hunter/utility knife. It has genuine black lip mother of pearl inlays. The pearl is REALLY hard to capture in a photo. I can't begin to capture everything that's going on in it as you move it around.

I plan on bringing this with me to Blade, if I still have it then.

Specs:
Hand forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched and etched
3 3/8" blade, 7 1/2" overall, .180" thick at the ricasso w/ full distal taper
Rounded spine and ricasso edge
Fluted and line cut damascus collar
African blackwood handle
Black lip pearl inlays

IMO, blackwood and blacklip make a very attractive combination. Thanks for sharing

Great little knife with your usual fine touches...that inlay looks seamless.
