Cool knife Rotor! I just love cable damascus and you got a nice pattern out of that one. What kind of cable and how big was the bundle you started with? I just picked aome up and am going to try it soon. ALso, how many heats did you have to do and did you fold it?

I like it, Rotor. Looks functional, comfortable, nice clean lines. I also don't notice the discoloration. Congratulations, hope you manage to keep this one for yourself!!

Very Nice!!!!!
Nice cable also.The imitation stag doesn't look to bad.You might try finding a old cow bone and then jig it yourself and then try dying it the way you want.
