i like it!....nice looking pattern on the damascus....and great flowing lines! Great Job!
 
That is one beautiful looking knife!
Whoever buys that one is gonna be extremely pleased when they get it.:)
 
It seems that very often I see a damascus blade that's either just designed around the damascus, and ends up as less than functional blade, or they concentrate more on blade design, and lose the efffect of the damascus. But you sir, did a great job of balancing the two goals, and came up with a beautiful knife. I agree, whoever gets this piece will be very happy
 
Bill you sure know how to put a knife together. That's a beautiful knife with a lot of class. You make some nice damascus, I can't recall seeing the same pattern twice. :cool:

Thank you all for the very gracious and encouraging compliments. A knifemaker has a fairly good idea when he produces a nice piece but there is always that little bit of doubt that says, "maybe I should have done this or that differently" thats why I like to post pictures here on the forum, when you get compliments from other people that don't make knives its a good feeling but when you get compliments from others knifemakers that really know what goes into the production of a knife its fantastic. ;)

Thanks again

Bill
