Hakkapella pattern damascus (Damasteel)

[dsvirsky]

I was browsing the Damasteel website and I noticed this really cool damascus pattern. However, I don't think I've ever seen a knife that uses it, either for blade or bolsters. Can anyone help me out with a picture or two?

Here is one from Michael Walker that uses Hakkapella Damasteel as a handle material.

Here is one that uses it as a blade material. This knife is by Jerry McClure.

Both these pictures were taken from Michael Walker's web site.

Keith,
Thanks for the pictures. I picked up my first* knife with a damascus blade just last month (a little 3-finger hunter in stag and twist Damasteel by local maker Bucky O'Dell) and now I'm turning into a damascus junkie.

The piece by Lamont Coombs isn't really my thing, but WOW! what great use of the damascus pattern for that blade!

*Edited for accuracy: First user that is. Last September, at the SECKS, my wife bought me a beautiful piece by Jot Khalsa, with Eggerling mosaic damascus bolsters and blade.
