Japanese influenced folder

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

Just finished this up yesterday. I think that it has a kinda japanese bamboo cutter look to it, but I don't think that you would want to use this one. Blade is 3 5/16in long, made of Devin Thomas stainless ladder pattern damascus. Bolsters are also the same stainless ladder pattern damascus but I put them on perpendicular to the way the pattern runs on the blade. Scales are blue coral which was a pain to work with, it is very porus. Liners are Ti and fully fileworked with a two color anodization. The file cut-outs are anodized blue/green and the tops of the liners are purple. The purple is outstanding. Backbar is also fileworked with a couple of waves and arrows. The filework pic is ok, but shows off the liners.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck
