I picked up this fighter from Craig Camerer at Jerry's Fisk's Microshow. It has a 9" 1084 x 15N20 damascus blade with stainless steel and bronze guard with mammoth scales. It is light and fast in the hand.

Here is Craig's description:

"Slim Pickens in a Tux" I started out making this one in the profile of my slim pickens model. The Pickens was designed as a no frills fighter but I decided to really dress this one up. When I got ready to forge it out I decided to use damascus steel for the blade. I made a piece of my twisted Loki's ladder damascus and forged it to shape and thickness at this point used my press and a set of angled ladder dies to laddered the bevels into the blade. It gave the blade a more traditional laddered look but with various looks as the damsacus twists throughout the blade. I stretched out the blade to 9" and added a 416 stainless guard with a bronze and a thin 416 spacer for the fittings
. I followed the guard up with some nice thick creamy mammoth ivory scales.

that's the coolest of that design by Camerer I've seen. Nice mix of stuff going on; shiny, grainy and busy but it all works together and engages your eye and brain for a lot longer than most knives you see these days. Without being toooo much.
