Damascus and Ivory Hunter

[Mike Craddock]

This one has been sometime in coming. A customer told me some time back that he would like for me to make something “Special” for him to carry and use.
I made up the billet about 6 months age, finished the blade 4 months ago, used some Damascus from a screwed up billet of feather pattern to made the fittings this was about one month ago.
Since then I went to work and GOT HER DONE.Customers reaction was “ I love it, but now I want you to make me something Special that I can carry and use). I love this guy.
Blade is 5” 1095 and 15N20 W pattern with OAL just under 10”, nickel silver spacer, and Fossil Walrus Ivory.
thanks for looking
Mike
