Fossil Walrus Oosik and Damascus Fighter

[J.Marc]

Today, I have a new knife for your concideration; A damascus and fossilized walrus oosik fighter. The blade is 8.25" of 0.187" thick random pattren Alabama Damascus steel with a deep 14" hollow grind, and probably will be the last blade I'll ever do from Alabama Damascus. The handle is the main attraction; a very dense piece of fossilized walrus oosik, which is, for those who do not know, essentially a fossilized walrus penis (bacullum tecnically). This makes for an increadbly dense, hard, and resiliant knife handle material. The guard, ferrule and pommel plate are all made from Alabama Damascus with fluting and checkering file work and a 304 stainless spacer as well. The pommel is threaded and peened as well. Blade is 8.25", handle is 4.75", overall length is 13.00" Its not often that I get to make a knife this cool, I hope you like it. Comes with a well fitted heavy leather sheath.

Looks really Nice J.Marc , heck of a great grind on the long blade . Women love oosik , it has always been funny watching them at a show when you tell them what they are handling .

Thanks, real fun material to work with. Definitely not a handle material you see everyday.
