Beautiful knife again. You're killing it here Michael. That ivory is special indeed.

Great images, as always. Those macro shots are something else! Fantastic detail.
 
Wow, awesome knife and ivory. I would have sworn that was ironwood or dark walnut. Very rich color. Great Damascus too. And not least, great photos Caleb.
 
Same here, at a glance, thought it was Ironwood.
Another exceptional knife and exceptional photography. :thumbup::thumbup:
 
Great knife overall with a lot of attention to detail. I really like the handle design and fluting of the spacers. Unusually rich and uniform color and texture in the ivory enhances the whole package. Classy knife.

I'd also like to thank Caleb for continuing to share his outstanding images on the Forum. It's the next best thing to seeing these knives in person and is particularly valuable to people like me that do not attend many shows. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks Bob! You can definitely count on seeing more images!
 
Jr. continues to tear it up! I really like the deeply etched steel, but overall the detail and execution are spectacular.

And more great photography from Caleb, too. Congrats all around.
 
Caleb,

Great photo and it repersents this knife very well.

With that said. Having handled this knife, I must say that the true beauty of this knife can only come out with this knife in hand. It is fast and light, the steel shimmers, and the fit and finish is perfect.

Michael,

Elegant fighter, outstanding detail work concisely shown by Caleb's mad skillz. :)
Michael has 'em too.
Also agree with Bruce.
