Hello guys.
This time I exposed. Twisted terrible inlay on one side of the handle. Unfortunately, this can be seen only after filing excess and is beyond repair…… but with heavy hammer. :D I like the colors of the handle, so I felt sorry to break it. Therefore, I lose $ 100 than the usual price.
Blade – 165 layers Damascus steel hand forged of 80CrV2 /L2/ and 75Ni8. Differentially heat treated with clay. 58 – 60 HRC after tempering.

Handle – Acer negundo burl and poplar burle. Both stabilized.

Guard –bronze.

Inlays – bronze and turquoise mosaic.

Separators - bronze and ebony mosaic.

The sheath made of 3 – 3.5 mm. cow leather my friend George Petkov.

The price is 200 $ including shipping.
$ 20 extra if you want the shipment to be insured.

Mike, sometimes flaws are what make true beauty. I think this one is exceptional. Someone should be getting a deal.
 
Not sure I see anything amiss. Its really handsome. Heck of a deal for a " blem" Mike. If it were not for 2 in transit, think I would be all over it.
 
Very kind of you, but for me it is like a grain of sand in the eye. Petite, but terribly irritating.:grumpy:
 
I wish I saw this one sooner.. I agree with everyone else.. I don't see any failure on this.

That's what she said!

Sorry, couldn't resist. Beautiful knife, love the blade shape too

What is wrong with this knife? Can someone point out where the maker is talking about?

I believe the maker is referencing this: Moving back on the handle from the guard... On the right hand side of knife with the wire inlay just after the turquoise mosaic... There is a slight kink (twist) in the wire inlay as compared to the same area of the handle on the opposite side of the knife.

@ M.K.
It is still a good looking knife! I don't think I'd want to break the handle on this one to fix it either.
 
Thank you, boys. You always manage to surprise me in one way or another.:thumbup:
