11" Blade / 16,5" Overall
S Guard: Blued Steel

Nice Custom leather sheath by Marcelo!!

I hope you like it,
Claudio

I really like this one Claudio! The shape of the blade, guard and handle, each by themselves, all come together to make a really excellent piece.

The inlay maple is really neat. However, and I really hope you're not upset that I say this, I would have liked to see another piece of wood instead. The red doesn't do much for me here. A really nice piece of curly koa, or ironwood would have been my choice.

But, that's a personal preference thing and I really like the whole knife. Excellent work.
 
kamenko!
 
Exceptional craftsmanship my friend....as always.

Thank your son for me buddy...;)
 
Very nice graceful, flowing lines. I also like the "wrapped" blued steel handle and creative sculpting on the blade. A more subdued natural inlay would have suited my tastes better but this is an outstanding piece just as it stands. Great sheath, too. I'm amazed with every new knife you show us.
 
I find it amazing how Claudio keeps designing every knife so distinctive and with such flair. A most exciting knifemaker truly at the top of his game. He brings the "A" game to ever blow of the hammer. I always maintained that one could own a different knife for every day of the year from long passed Harvey McBurnette and I certainly have to add Claudio to this genre.
 
Gorgeous knife, really like the snake scale inlay on the sheath too! :thumbup:

beautiful knife! The carving on the blade and sculptured handle make this one very unique. I think the color of the wood and blued steel also make for a striking combination.
 
I like Kamenko. In Bulgarian language it is a name meaning stone, made of stone. :D
 
That is an amazing knife, Claudio, just amazing. I personally like the red inlay, it reminds me of coral. How in the world did you get that inlay in the blade (shakes head in disbelieve).
