This one's been sitting around for months, waiting for me to decide how to finish the handle. I hope someone out there likes my decision enough to buy it. :D
This is the first time I've done a butterfly pattern. I like it. I wonder why we don't see it more often.

Steel: 1084/15n20, about 400 layers

Blade length: 13-1/2"

Total length: 19-1/4"

Handle material: White paracord

Bravo. That is one incredible knife. I believe that the marriage of tactic and Damascus have long been overlooked. The execution of cord and Damuscus was perfect. The line are just perfect. BTW did I mention I liked the dagger
 
Phillip, nice clean lines and beautiful damascus. I really like it. Great job.
 
Cool :thumbup: I like butterfly pattern myself :thumbup: The paracord wrapped handle gives a touch of individuality to this large knife :thumbup:

BTW, how thick is the middle spine of this dagger, Phillip?

Thanks everyone for the comments! I appreciate it.

Mohd, the blade is about 3/16" at the thickest, which is at the ricasso, tapering from there toward the tip and also the butt.
