I call this a beak because it is not a warncliff or a talon. Blade is 3-3/16in long made of Mike Norris Ladder Pattern stainless damascus. Bolsters are Doug Ponzio Mosaic damascus. Scales are beautiful white mother of pearl. Liners, backbar, screws and thumbstud are fully fileworked. Liners are multi colored titanium ranging from blue to purple to bronze to gold in the center and then back to bronze, purple and blue. Overall length is 7-3/16in. Fit and finish is excellent and smoothness and lockup is superb.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck
 
Chuck,
You have really outdone yourself on this one!!!!! WOW, what a beauty:eek: :eek:
 
That is some of the nicest filework I have seen. After seeing the title of theis thread I expected to see a hawkbill when I checked out the pictures. Though I like hawkbills, I was pleasantly surprised by the profile of this blade. It looks very nice.

Merry Christmas Chuck.
 
Looking great Chuck!
 
Chuck's work is really looking good. I have been fortunate to handle and photograph some of Chuck's knives lately. They are super! Here's just a tease from a pending website: www.TheCustomKnife.com

I've often chided Chuck for his disparity of his camera skills vs. his knifemaking skills. They're not even close, as you can see.

But, then again, my disparity in making vs. posting is even further misaligned!! :)

I am glad you posted that picture Coop. I always looked at Chuck's knives, and thought they were probably amazing in person, but the pictures made them look pretty blah. He always uses the best materials, but you could never tell from the pictures. I remember a couple times where he had knives posted for sale for a while that looked like amazing prices on amazing knives, and I always thought to my self He really needs to take better pictures!! This is by no means a nock on you chuck, I love your knives. I am just glad to have a picture that does one of them justice.
