Just another damascus utility knife WIP

[Danbo]

This one is basically my rendition of a Strider MFS, only in Doug Ponzio random pattern 1095/15N20 damascus. Knife is 8" overall and is probably at least 1/4" thick as it stands right now. Not heat treated yet, so it'll probably end up closer to 3/16" once finished. After heat treat, blade will be flat ground a LOT thinner, all the way up to the spine. Still gonna be a beefy lil sumbeeatch, though.

Not sure if I'll handle it, wrap it, or leave it as is. I'm always interested in hearing comments; both good and bad.

The man makes fantastic damascus. It would be a shame to cover it up.

Did a little more work on it tonight. Here it is, ready for heat treat. Probably going to use those ironwood scales in the pic.

It's taking shape well......and Ironwood burl and damascus go together
so naturally.....this will probably be one that you'd rather keep...!

(Got it done yet..?...(LOL)...!

Nice! I think the iron wood and damascus will look amazing together. :thumbup:

Between this one and the photo's you sent me; I started making a damascus neck knife.
