Here is a hunter I finished for an order. Knocked another off the list:D This is a random pattern damascus made by me consisting of 1084/1075/15n20. The handle is cherry burl with black G10 spacers and mosaic pins. The bead on the lanyard is also random pattern damascus. Thanks to all for looking let me know what you think. Have a great day. -Burton

Burton -- outstanding workmanship! Really like how the g-10 spacers kind of work with the cherry! And, the blade...DANG!!
 
I really like that one. I've never used 1075 in the mix, do you prefer that and does it laminate up better than using a 1085 or 1095 along with the 1084? Just curious...
 
Thanks for the encouraging words everyone I really appreciate it. Wolfjohn the 1075 etches lighter than the 1084. If you look at the pattern you can see 3 different colors with the 1084 being the darkest. If I am wrong on this someone please correct me on this. I am not sure that it welds up any better than 1095 but it is the mix I have been using with great results. Thanks to all for looking. -Burton
 
I had the opportunity to handle this little beauty last weekend and I found it to be a nice fit; Burton wouldn't let me keep it though.:grumpy:

Like the pics my friend and the knife as well.

Checked out the retro on your site and like that as well. Clean and easy to access.

Regards, Fred
