WOW! That is AWESOME Shawn! I like everything about it. The damascus pattern is SWEET, and I also like the grind.

I'm with Dave- good looking knife!
 
Very nice Shawn! Similar low layer Pattern Damascus blade to the Buckeye Beauty I got from you:thumbup:
 
WOW!!!!
That sure is a beauty!
Maybe you should call it the "Admiral's Bowie"
Someone is going to be speechless when they open this present.

Thats a Great name Mark.
 
I like how you have two busy materials separated by a clean and simple guard. THIS is one large reason this works so well. It balances the senses, instead of overwhelming them.

Very clean, and great lines. That's going make someone a wonderful gift.
 
Thank you all very much for the kind words! I still have ALOT to learn but im trying.

Hope everyone has a merry christmas!

Very nice & clean all the way around. It just shows that you don't need a high layer damascus to be appealing. Well done!
