New Blade Day William Henry B12 Hydra

[auto1234]

Hello,
Purchased my 2nd WH today. Thought I would share some pics

The Spearpoint ‘Hydra’ features a frame in hand carved Mokume Gane and Sterling Silver by Lee Downey, inlaid with fossil Mammoth Tooth. The blade is hand forged 'Boomerang' damascus by Chad Nichols; the one-hand button lock and the thumb stud are set with diamonds.

Some of the lighting obscures the coloring so here is a pic from the WH site which shows the details of the engraving

I don't normally like engraving/carving on mokume as I feel it detracts from the beauty of the metal itself...but DAMN, that's amazing

An awesome looking knife! I'd have a hard time carrying it tho.
Congrats on a really sweet knife.

it almost seems like it's too much bling - but somehow they really work together, you have a real heritage piece there
