Damascus and Ivory Fight for ABS Expo

[joshsmith]

This mosaic damascus fighter has a fossil walrus ivory handle, damascus fittings, stainless steel liners, and a mosaic damascus blade. The blade and fittings have been gun blued to a dark finish.

This will come with a Paul Long sheath as well and again my pictures are lackluster. I hope to see you in SA.

Good looking Fighter.
I like the "cross-bar" handle design.

 

[Jon Brand]

Cool knife. The mosaic looks real nice.

Josh, that is incredibly nice knife, but I would offer a personal observation. If I was making such a piece, which I cannot at this point (and possibly never so take it for what it is worth), I would think about installing the center damascus spacer at an angle in between the one of the back of the ferrule and that of the buttcap.

Very Nice, looks like another award winner for the show. :thumbup:

This is a piece of art.
Everything here is near perfection and must be admired!

 

[SharpByCoop]

Crappy photos STILL show clearly how terrific the patterns are. What I think I'd LOVE to see are the stunning colors this one has.

Looking forward to the better images after the show. Don't let this one go past Eric's room without a trip inside.

Well done.

Coop (BTW, they are above average photos--for a knifemaker.... )

Sweet, love the ivory, but the steel really stands out to me.

Thank you so much guys. I appreciate it.

Coop, I will definetly have Eric shoot it. Usually I shoot a little better but when I was cleaning my shop a while back I set my light box outside. 30 minutes later I looked up to rain and the white paper on it was ruined! I need to rebuild it and it is really nice to have your tutorial to do that. Thanks!
