I am the proud owner of this knife. I asked J. to make this one for me after looking at other knives he has posted here. I am very happy with the results.
The blade is quite impressive damascus._ The high layer count and layer of Ni make some pretty patterns._ It's also screaming sharp, I have a large bald spot on my right arm as proof.
The corian throat goes well with the knife._ I had only seen photos on line of this material, so I did not know if I would like it in person._ Turns out I do like it._ The knife ballances right at the throat.
The walnut handle it comfortable and well shaped._ I really like the walnut/damascus combo._ I picked this combo by looking at J.'s on-line examples and combining my favorite parts of several of his other knives.
I also like the mosaic pin._ This is the first knife I have owned with such a pin._ It really adds a lot over a plain steel pin.
Finally, Tess has made a great sheath._ The external stiches, color, and decoration are all first rate._ It is one of the best custom sheaths I have seen.
I will put a few additional photos online soon.
