Here's a nice one, fresh off the bench. I send my fair share of knives out the door (at least 5 a year ;p ;) ....a little joke for those of you that know me well) and most of them I'm fine with seeing them go and have no particular attachment. Heck, some of them I can't wait to get out of here. :D But this one I'd REALLY love to keep. I like the materials and the colors, the details and the slimness of the handle....everything about this one I like a lot. Anyway...

Forged from 1075 steel
8 1/4" overall, 4" blade
Rounded spine and ricasso
Rounded filed thumb grip
Bronze collar with stippled band
Damascus fluted accent
Desert Ironwood handle w/ carved and stippled panels

All comments and discussion welcome.

That's a real beauty, John. I wouldn't mind having it myself; )
 
Excellent cohesive vision and execution. When I think of hunters, I think of you. They don’t get better than this.
 
It's easy to see why you like that one so much, very nice, love the Hammon, handle, it all.

Great materials combination and wonderful details. The panels on the handle put it over the top!
 
Very nice, I really like what you did with textures on the bronze collar.
