Greetings all,
I'm putting this one back up for sale at a significant reduction - a screaming deal for the forged blade aficionado.
This is a strikingly beautiful damascus fighter by one of the true greats of bladesmithing - ABS Master Smith, Burt Foster.
Additional pics and a detailed description by the maker himself can be found on Burt's site, where this piece is memorialized:

There's a lot to be said about this knife, and Burt says it better than I could. I can wholeheartedly endorse is description of the holographic effect of this damascus pattern. It is really something to behold.
And as with every Burt Foster piece, a first rate top quality sheath specifically designed as both a functional and aesthetic complement to the knife itself is included.
This is a full size fighter from Burt - blade length to the front of the guard: 9 1/4". Overall length: 14 1/8"
Price is US$1395 which includes trackable shipping in the US and Canada, AND Paypal fees (preferred method of payment).
NOTE - a comparable piece from Burt would cost you SEVERAL hundred more.
I am always happy to answer any questions, but the first "I'll take it!" by email (pinnocr@hotmail.com) or PM will secure this terrific piece.
Thanks for taking the time to look and read.
Roger
