I figured out how to accept paypal payments.

Comments on the knife and/or sheath?

Looks great! Too bad I am broke. I like the sheath. Very well done. The quality of a good leather sheath can make or break a knife.

Very nice. Good looking damascus blade. Very nice website too btw.

Is it a full tang? Guessing no based on the placement of the two pins. Is that common for damascus blades? I'm new to handmade knives, please bear with me.

Thank you for the kind words.

I make both full tang and hidden tang. This one is a hidden tang. The handle contruction (full tang vs. hidden tang) is not dependent on the blade steel. It's up to the individual maker as to which handle construction he is inspired to use to create a particular piece.
