Just finished this one......still need to make a sheath.
specs:
OAL 7"
cutting edge is 2 7/8"
1/8 inch thick, 15/16" wide, full flat grind.
Cocobolo handle
Bolster is ivory micarta.
Domed pin is nickel silver.

Damascus is my own......bashed out the hard way. 112 layers 1084 and 15n20.

All comments and critique are welcome.

I absolutely love (covet) it!!!

Noticed how the red hues from the handle visually bleed into the cream tint of the micarta. Also adore that the grains in the wood (of an excellently shaped handle) are carried tp the tip of the blade by the wavy lines of the damascus.

Can I buy an option to buy it? Terrfic work of art! Congratulations!

I use copper quite a bit, one of my favorite materials.....I wanted more contrast with this one though. Once the copper ages a bit it ends up too close to the color of the cocobolo for what I was going for. Kept you off my back though:D

The Burgh,

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Didn't work. I need one with copper.
