Blue Mammoth Ivory on Damascus

[J. Doyle]

This one completes my group for the OKCA show.

This has been a long time in the making. Mike Quesenberry and I did some horse trading a while back and I ended up with a small billet of his ladder damascus. Mike's pattern in this is so clean and tight. I love it.

Anyway here it is.

Ladder Damascus
8 1/2" overall, 4" of actual cutting edge
Tapered Tang
"Twisted Steel" filework all the way around the spine and butt end
Twist damascus bolsters made from a small chunk of twist from my good buddy Bruce Bingenheimer.
Bolsters are dovetailed and heat blued
Blue Mammoth ivory scales
24k gold plated screws
