Dale Baxter Multi-bar Damascus hunter

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the latest knife out of my shop.
It is a "True Custom" made to customer specifications (like most of my work) and is 100% hand made.
The overall length is 10 3/4" with a 5 1/2" blade. The handle is a bit long for me, but the customer can palm a watermelon hahaha
The Damascus is a 9-bar Damascus twist, made from three bars of 380 layer 1095 and L-6 and six bars of 60 layer 1095/15n20/203-e, each twisted and the bars welded together. The pictures don't show the Damascus well, but it's the best I can do at this time.

The handle is hard rock flame maple that was dyed dark brown and then black for a multidimensional look. The collar is silver roses and the guard is German Silver, pins are mosaic.

You may notice the silver collar is a bit wide as the guard, this is so the customer can a positive lock with the thumb rested in the file worked blade swell and the index finger locked on the collar. I feel the function outweighs the slight disruption of the flow of the knife.

I would appreciate any comments, good or bad.

Amigo Dale , su cuchillo me ha gustado y guardaré su foto con su permiso . A veces hacemos piezas muy elaboradas y el resultado final no es el que esperábamos. En otras ocasiones realizamos cuchillos o trabajos sencillos , que tienen algo especial .
El agradecido soy yo, por mostrarlo y disfrutar de su trabajo .

Un abrazo . Montejano .

Friend Dale, I have liked his knife and I will keep its picture with its permission. We sometimes make very elaborated pieces and the final result is not the one that we waited. In other occasions we carry out knives or simple works that have something special.
The grateful one is me, to show it and to enjoy their work.

A hug. Montejano.
