Just got my Cocobolo / Raindrop Damascus. Pretty happy with the color of the wood, as I have seen other examples with darker cocobolo, more close to the color of snakewood and gabon ebony. As I also have snakewood and gabon ebony within my collection I am very happy that the cocobolo wood at this piece turns more into a kind of rosewood color style, in order to see a difference compared to the others.

Fantastic. Still trying to decide which wood inlay I want on my damascus. Leaning toward snakewood at the moment. Are they users or safe queens?
 
Those are fantastic pics!
The macro shots of the inlays are so detailed and fine you can see the machine marks on the inlays.

Oh...Nice collection; You have great taste!
 
Excellent photos and great collection. I hope I can amass a collection of damascus Sebenzas as well. It's great to be able to look at these pieces in such detail. Thank you for posting the photos!
 
Thanks to all of you.

Terry, safe queens. My user Sebenza is a KnifeArt large Insingo with one side full cf scale.
 
Nice collection!
Beautiful shots!
And if I pick one that's for sure will be a Woodsnake and definitely not a safe queens!
:)
 
Great knife. The gold thumb stud, gold back spacer and gold on the lanyard pin look terrific with that Damascus blade and those wood inlays.
 
Gorgeous knives James, your taste and your talents as a Photographer are impeccable! Bravo sir.
 
Great collection - great pictures.
Thank you for sharing.
I guess it takes a lot of time to build such an impressive colletion and to do such great pictures.

PS:Are those large or small?
