This one fought me all the way, but my hammer prevailed. :D The blade is about 6 inches of 1/4 (spine) W-2 with a nice distal taper. The guard is twist damascus. The knife is about 11 inches overall with a sculpted, stabalized African blackwood handle and a homemade mosaic pin. Thanks for looking -- let me know what you think about it. :)

I think it looks fantastic. The hamon looks great and so do the damascus guard and blackwood handle. There's really nothing I don't like about this one.
 
Thank you gentlemen -- here's a (hopefully) better pic I just took this morning --

ME LIKE!

Mike, would you please elaborate on how you obtained the hamon and how you quenched? Just curious. Thanks! :)
 
I love it Michael. It looks like it has bulk but really doesn't. Great shape and design and the workmanship is fantastic......Bee autiful !!!!!! ;)
 
Awsome, the damascus bolster realy sets the whole thing off and the handle looks real comfy
