This is a Sendero knife I made.
The blade is 3 3/4 long, 1 inch wide and 5/32 thick at the ricasso. The damascus is a W pattern with 450 layers (5160+15n20). Overall length: 8 7/16 inches.
The handle is stabilized California Buckeye Burl.
Weights 2.7oz.
Hope you like it :)
Critics and comments are welcome.

Well executed rendition.
The handle shape is a little off from Jerry's Sendero, but you may have intended that.
 
Nice! :thumbup: All the materias look great together, and the pattern in the guard along with it's darker etch really ties the blade and handle together very nicely, imho.

Even if the handle profile isn't exactly the same as Jerry's, it's still a beautiful knife! :)

Thank you for your comments.
Mark, this wood came from your stock :)
Kevin, you're right, Jerry called this knife Sendero-ish when he came to a knife show in April, and then he gave me some tips to improve the design. I hope next time I get it right! :) But it got very comfortable in hand. The beauty of this business is learn from every new knife!
Paul, thank you very much for you kind words :)
 
The pattern is quite interesting. The upper end of the handle seems to me somewhat prolonged, but obviously it's my problem. :)
