I just completed my first fighter style knife yesterday. I forged the blade and damascus this summer after watching Jason Knight teach at a hammer in here in Maine. It got put on the back burner for a while and I re started working on it last week.
Blade: 10.5 inches 1095 with hamon
Guard and Collar: W's pattern damascus in 1084 and 15n20
Handle: WSSI stabilized redwood burl
Sheath: 9oz leather dyed black with vinegar that had been used to disolve damascus scale.
My pics are not that great but I am trying to increase the quality.
All opinions about any aspect of the knife are welcome.
