Finished this one up yesterday, its been something I've wanted to do for quite a while now, so I gave it a whirl. The picture is deceiving, the blade isn't that big, but this was the best picture I had that showed the shape and pattern together.

OAL- 12 1/8" w/ 7" blade. the bold mosaic steel was formed from combining 1080,15n20 and 1095 into a 79 layer billet, manipulating the billet into 4 different pieces and then rewelding. I then opened up the blade area of the billet to show the mosaic pattern and then shaped the remaining into the handle leaving the mosaic pattern inside as the butt end picture will show. The handle scales are african blackwood with the 5 nickel/silver pins.

Thanks for looking , what do you think?
