Here is another knife I will be taking to the Chicago Knife Show in September. I have eight, but my goal is to have ten or eleven.

The 8 1/2″ blade is forged from a four bar composite, in Explosion Pattern Damascus. The fittings are Explosion Pattern Damascus and German Silver. The handle is of Mammoth Ivory. The overall length is 13 1/2″ long. This knife will also have a custom sheath made by myself. This is the fourth time I have tried Explosion Pattern Damascus and it is finally what I wanted it to be.

Tell me what you think.

Thanks for looking and have a good day!

WOW!
Without a doubt your best yet IMO.
Beautiful "tight" multi-bar damascus pattern.
Great ivory selection. Outstanding execution on a very
complex and difficult handle design. Was this your first attempt at this
style handle?
 
I would also say this is my favorite of the knives you have posted to date.

Great looking knives you are making Kyle.

Have to agree with Peter. I usually am not a big fan of fighters or bowies, but I like everything about this one. Great knife!

WOW one knife after another - you continue to amaze me.
Stunning knife!!!

Easily my favorite to date...
but I'm sure there will be others.

You have been blessed with a talent
 
Kyle,
Great looking knife. Wow on the damascus.

I would not be it too much of a hurry to have 10-12 knives on your table. Sometimes customers wonder why you have so many or they can't decide on which one they like the most.
 
meh, not bad;)

I'm sorry, Kyle, but we are going to have to kill you now kind of like Salieri killed Mozart in "Amadeus:mad::D

I don't know, doesn't seem like much of an attempt to me, more like a total accomplishment!
What a knife!
 
Kevin,

I've done three simple, one piece, frame handles before this one, never before with filework and damascus and a total of 28 pieces.

Thanks for the comments everyone, they are very encouraging. :)

WOW!!! Definately the best i've seen. This one is just really really sweet. Great looking.. everything. The damascus pattern is really outstanding and i'd be proud to own a knife like it.
