Wow. That mosaic stainless damascus is downright beautiful. The knife ain't too bad, either .

I just sat down to draw up my first bowie and this beauty was perfect inspiration. Well done

I like that center pin! Also, a pretty knife.

handle looks a little blocky to be comfortable. that is my only criticism, that is a beautiful knife.

Way to go, Phil! Good looking work. Did you refinish that blade since I saw it? It looks like a good etch. Nice job on the guard installation, too.

I saw this blade in person when Phil visited my shop, it is indeed very pretty damascus.

Salem, yes I made the mistake of buffing the blade with pink no-scratch after the acid etch, which dulled the pattern. So I re-dipped it a few times in 30% muratifc acid. No buffing this time.
