Here's one I just finished up for a fellow who wanted my ball-bearing damascus but, wanted me to keep the bearing shape and nt draw or twist it. The steel is 1/4" diameter 52100 ball bearings and 1084 powder done in a canoe canister. The recesses handle scales are carbon fiber with stainless pins. The piece totals 4 3/4" oal.

Holy cow. Looks good on the hunter you just posted, but this one, undistorted, is a real mind-blower.
 
It sure is an interesting look. I wonder how the edge wears and how the well it handles flex stress.
 
Thanks guys.

The edge retention on this steel is great. As to flex... well, this one won't flex much but, the larger versions I've done work very well.
 
I love the way that looks. Great pattern and the overall knife looks awesome. Very, very cool.
 
Looks awesome. I have seen quite a few ball bearing/canister damascus projects and the look of the steel always impresses me. I wonder why more don't use this.

Came out fantastic.
 
O.k., so I am really not a dum-mas-cuss guy. Just not my flavor of Ben and Jerrys! But holy cow, that is possibly the coolest I have ever seen...wait; My mind may be opening up to learning more about damascus after all. Really Beautiful work!
