Here is another unique one that I just completed. The blade is Damascus I made that is interrupted "W's" with a guard that is Mokume (made by me) and the ferrule is sterling silver. What makes this one also unique is that when the mokume gets a patina it will just look better with age. The handle is an ancient hide scraper that the tip was damaged and discarded by an Inuit Indian in Alaska centuries ago out of Walrus Ivory that has fossilized hundreds of yrs ago. Dug out of the ground on private native lands last year and this is how it came out of the ground except I have polished it. It is available for 225.00 and 6.00 for priority mail. Fossil Walrus can only be mailed in the USA and not to any other country. My e-mail and paypal is dangraves4923@earthlink.net

Blade length 3 3/16 inch
Thick at guard .207 Inch
overall length 6 7/8 inches

A sheath can be made for 35.00 and takes about a week. last picture is an example.

Thanks David, Is also razor sharp and with Aldo's steel will hold a good edge. Just needs a home.
