New style (for me), "drop-point"

[unclemike13]

I widened the blade on my "standard" drop-point hunter, then added a thumb ramp on the spine and a finger choil. Hand forged damascus of 1084 / 15n20 Stainless bolsters and malachite recon stone spacers. Blade is just under 4 inches, 8 1/4 overall. Your comments would be appreciated.

Very nice Michael. Is it just the lighting or was this selectively hardened?

I like the line that the thumb ramp adds. Something of a "wasp-waist" look that reminds me of a B-58.

Thank you all.
Bluejaunte - the blade is full hardened and then tempered back. I try not to get a hamon or temper line on most of my damascus.

Mike, I'm really impressed. Much of my time on the site is looking at drop point hunters. This knife is a shining example. Mark
