That looks like amazing craftsmanship all the way around.
The sheath is also art and I like how the guard is sculpted.
 
That is an amazing blade!!!!

I gotta send you a knife after seeing that? How do I follow that kind of craftmanship? :eek: :)
 
That is really a stunner! I like the little touches like the hippo tooth inlay. The sheath is beautiful craftmanship as well.
 
THX you all

i didnt mention the sheath "extras" :

it is very light also, because the leather is thin and wrought and sewed over poplar wood. The damascus stud could be screwed out and David gave me a simple but perefect rubber loop that could be screwed into the hole.
See the last pic.

Thanks Mr.Bad
there are so much "little touches" at this one, i am still finding new ones :D

For example the unsharpened part of the blade just in front of the guard fits my second finger, the san mai of the blade fits perfect to the choil/grind.

Have one recognosed the whole piece of the guard is ONE PIECE ?
Cool, or?


THX to all :D
