The blade is 3-3/4 in long to the top of the bolsters and made of Daryl Meier forged to shape Turkish twist damascus. The front and rear bolsters are Dough Ponzio Turkish Twist damascus. The pattern is really fine and tight, you would swear that it was Rados. I also carved the front and rear bolsters with some stepped flutes. The scales are blacklip pearl with great color. They are faceted which you can feel but it is difficult to see in the picture. The liners and backbar are fully fileworked. The backbar has 2 blacklip pearl inlays and the liners have been anodized a bronze/gold color. The 3 blade pulls are 14K gold and all the screws have been hidden. Overall length is 8-7/8inches.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck

EXCEPTIONAL Chuck. That black lip looks incredible as does the damascus combination. Nice filework too!

All the screws are hidden and the bolsters are dovetailed to hold the scales on. There are also dowel pins under the scales to keep them from moving.
