Hi everyone!

Here is a new knife I just finished up. It has a deep hollow ground double edged blade in the Loveless style and a frame handle that has some Erickson and Royer influence. The blade is of a tight "W" Feather pattern Damascus as are the fittings. The scales are of premium Alaskan Mammoth Ivory, the domed pins are German Silver. This is a custom ordered knife I stated making sketches for about a month and a half ago. I also made the Leather sheath. I heat treated the fittings so they would etch darker. This one will head for Canada Monday. Let me know what you think.

I will be posting knife #100 sometime next week. I hadn't done it yet because I wanted the sheath in the picture and I had to make another billet of Feather Damascus for the sheath. Also this knife had to be done before I could do the sheath for #100. #100 next week.

Thanks for looking! And thanks to Caleb for the great picture.

Beautiful Kyle. Great looking grinds that blend with the pattern and nice transitions on your fitting into the handle. Very Nice.

Great looking knife. I really like the way the spine of the feather follows the grind so closely.

Very Very Nice Kyle, I really like the way the center of the feather came out perfectly with the center grind and that sheath finishes off the package magnificently, outstanding as always. :thumbup::thumbup:

Great knife Kyle and it is impressive to see how you expand the boundaries of what the ABS makers are doing. Imagine this knife as a full integral. I'm sure it will happen soon. As usual, Caleb is doing great images.

That would be cool!

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I had a fun time on my first deep hollow grind with this knife.
