Keith,
Thanks,the sad part is,I had an "I'll take it" all typed up and never sent it for a Mammoth Fitch/JS Bowie,Gary was also selling.
Bing_D beat me to the draw and now owns it,his first ABS,so it turned out not being sad at all.
Bing_D is a great guy and everybody knows Gary's stellar rep.

Nice, glad to have been able to help out, the knives were from my friends
collection, he goes by Raj on the forum a gold member here who sent the
knives to me to be photographed and help him with selling them, which is
a neat way to get to see a lot of 'nice' knives up close!
Your collection is growing quite fast, I'd invest in some knife stands to display
them if you haven't done so already! Take a peek at Jay Fisher's stands
here is one of his Stands
Again, nice collection and thanks for the mention!

Doug, that's an exceptional 'triple crown' set. :thumbup: I'm not surprised from you. Congrats on such good taste.
AS usual, crystal clear images from Gary.

east village,Keith,DLG-Blades,Gary,Roger and Coop,thanks guys for all your positive comments,they are appreciated. :thumbup:
The mighty and feared Danbo commented,I believe,on the Damascus in the fighter,Martian Mosaic,I believe is what he called it,think he even got a piece for a someday project.
Anywho,I believe it is from the same twist of Damascus,check out the closeups of the pattern in the first and last pics of my second post.
Thanks again all.

Kevin,
Thanks,I'm just crazy about your avatar Fisk. :thumbup:
Gary,
Thank you as well,for letting me use your images and everything else you've done for me this year and last.
Neglected to mention this last one has 7 1/2" blade,didn't have a mike handy but with a tape it's about 1/4" thick at ricasso and I do like the raised clip and the mammoth is nice.
