I made an earlier post of my Steam Mill Hollow fighter from Sunfish Forge. I thought the professional images should stand alone. After visits to Paul's and Coop's, here they are. 9-inch 1086M blade clay treated, 14-inch OAL, Hanson damascus fittings, and stag handle left as natural as possible.

Thanks for looking.

Beautiful from one end to the other. Great sheath and photos.
Stag, damascus fittings and hammon all look so good together.
 
it's all good but that clip is awesome.
 
well, looks like someone finally found a little drooling smiley! Good work and about time I must say:thumbup:
 
Man that is awesome! All three guys did amazing jobs in their own rights.
 
Yep, A thing of beauty. Just awesooome! Coop 'don't take none' ugly pictures does he..

Gorgeous blade, to-die-for stag, first class sheath and awesome pic. I am more or less out of adjectives.

For my personal preference, I would have liked a nice damascus butt cap filed to match the texture of the stag to finish things off.

Hi Joe,

Yes, it is deserving of the accolades it's receiving. 100% DH3 goodness.

What would be more apparent to everyone if they were holding it, is how shiny the bright highlights in the ferrule and guard are. Especially the ferrule. they shine like chrome. It's not the usual two-tone damascus. Don has some polishing magic going on there... ;)

We have come to expect a Paul Long sheath this elaborate. Beautiful! (And you have come to expect my work to be up there too. Geez, it's hard staying afloat nowadays with all this pressure... :p) Nicely done, Paul.

Thanks to all. I am pleased with the results, too.

Great looking knife as it is...but I share Roger's opinion on a damascus butt cap.:D

I can't recall seeing that on a DH3 knife. Don, (if you are there) have you done that?

Would definately look good on this knife, but its beautiful as is.
 
this is one of the best overall knife and sheath combos I have seen in awhile simply fantastic. I wish it was mine
