This is one of my damascus san mai knives. The cladding damascus is from Alabama Damascus. Then I welded it up to a piece of W2 for the core material. It was polished to 1000 grit and etched.

The handle is faceted Cocobolo. It has been polished and buffed. It is held in place with pins and G-flex epoxy. It is very comfortable in the hand.

The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. It holds the knife securely and allows for a smooth draw.

Dimensions
Blade - 4 7/8" tip to handle
OAL - 9 1/2"

Price - $320 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.









 
Matthew, I will gladly take this if still available!
I have been looking to pick up one of you pieces for a while.
 
Not to take anything away from your knives, Matt, but I have to say that your sheathwork is superb.
 
Thanks Matt, I started spending more time on sheaths after I realized that it doesn't make a whole Lot of sense to spend 15 hours and a knife and then put it in a sheath that you made in 20 minutes. Paul Long's sheath DVDs really helped in that area.
