OAL- 13" w/ 7 3/4" blade. Steels used 1080,15n20 & 1095. Total layer count 1472. Handle material Gaboon Ebony. Pins are Nickel/Silver and there are over 75 pins in each side. The sheath is custom fit and all hand sewn useing high quality leather, with a snake skin inlay. The tang is continuous and is drilled and screwed to the pommel. This truly a beautiful fighter and the balance and feel is superb. I do apologize for the poor photos, they don't do this piece justice. Photography is definitely not my calling.

Price SOLD, Thank you Tarek
 
Simply Outstanding!!!:eek:
I like everything about this knife! Do you have a name for the damascus pattern Bill?

This one temps me to start collecting fixed blades again!;)

Frank:cool:
 
WOW! Beautiful damascus, and an excellent handle, grip and pommel design. The little figure-8 is a really nice touch. I also really like the pommel for retention.
 
Holy moly! Looks like I need to come up for another visit, just to see these new blades! :eek:
 
Still giving them away I see Bill. That is far better work that some knives I've seen go for over $1000. Very beautiful work
 
Thanks everyone for the great compliments, this is truly a more beautiful piece then the photos show. I just wish I had better photography skills. Thank you all.

Frank- no I've not named this pattern, I try to make every pattern different and unique, even though I take notes when making these patterns I usually don't try to copy them. When I do try to duplicate a pattern I usually twist or squeeze it differently somewhere in the process so it will come out with its own one of a kind look. Thanks


Mr.Bad, the pommel is really cool and services the purpose for sure. I like sub-hilt fighters for the reason you can push and pull without worrying about losing the knife, so I throught I would try a style that works with the same purpose but gives a little more freedom to the index finger. I'll be doing this more in the future, Thanks.

Mark, I know and totally agree, but I still have a couple Xmas bills I need to take care of, so I figured I would sacrifice this one to get out from under them. Thanks

Here's a little better picture of the sheath.

Thanks again

A big "YES" to what everyone else said about this beauty. Especially like the pommel. Great design overall. I say "BRAVO" ENCORE.
I would have this one setting on my mantel where I could see it everyday.
Would like to see it in materials that I could afford. Micarta, horn, giraffe, nickel silver, user friendly blade metal, etc.
