that's gorgeous. There's a ton of stuff I like about what I'm seeing, but one of the things that really stands out to me are those timed screws and that funky faux frame handle. Very cool, and innovative
 
A really wonderful looking piece. Art Deco Fighter to my mind but the flow etc just is perfect. Will be interesting to see the final presentation -- ie. sheath or stand?
 
Fantastic!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Really spectacular! I like that you purposely gave it an influence from a different design time period and it shows (the sculpting of the handle and the edge shaping of the pommel). I agree with Lorien, I'm always a fan of timed screws (from looking at so many custom rifles) and in my mind making a faux framed handle added complexity (alignment and fit) that shows off your skills more. A real winner

That is just stunning. Love the execution of the handle in particular. Beautiful blade shape. I really hope town one of your pieces someday.
 
We periodically get to see amazing pieces of work. And then we stumble on pieces that are amazing PLUS, like this knife.

The damascus is stunning!
 
Beautiful work Jean-Louis :thumbup:

I loved the takedown Bowies you had at Blade last year and this one continues my love affair!

The Damascus is fantastic and the proportions of the knife are perfect

What a truly fantastic knife, j.louis. Total perfection, other than the one flaw! :)
 
I'll just focus on that CRAZY fine 'spider pattern' steel. Whew.

Any thread which draws GigOne out to comment is a hit. ;) Hi!

Jean-Louis you have a stunning mind and a sharp eye!
 
With work like that I would think your order book will be full in no time at all. Very impressive to say the least. =)
