Here is some of my 180 layer damascus made from 1095 and 15N20. It was forged to shape and ground with a deep fuller. Everything was heat treated and hand polished to 600 grit before etching.

The handle is called Ghost G-10. It is black underlayment with what looks like clear on top. The result is that it looks almost blue. It is pretty cool stuff. This is held together with G-flex epoxy and pins.

The sheath is some 7-8oz buffalo leather. Apparently buffalo leather doesn't tool as well as cow leather, but it has pretty cool texture so I left it as it was. It holds the knife well and allows for easy draw.

Dimensions
Blade - 4 3/4"
OAL - 9"

Price - $285 shipped to US. I will ship internationally for an additional fee.

I have this posted elsewhere, so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it!" gets it.
