Well as I said this one has a 4 1/4 inch stabilized Ostrich leg bone handle (one piece)
The blade is 5 inches of a san-mai construction, which is gear drive chain with a 5160 center.
It has a nickel silver guard and buttcap.
Please let me know what you think of this and
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce, you're a busy guy!
I really like that blade, the steel looks like liquid...too cool!
 
Looks great. That Ostrich bone is an excelent match for the blade. I like the forged "curl" too!
 
Hi Bruce,
like that handle, especially the creamy color. Does it change with some use (sweat), or is the color and material stable?
Love your San Mai damascus, a great looking blade.

Bruce,

Both this and the Damascus Bowie I just saw are gorgeous. Beautiful attention to detail!

Thanks for all the kind words everybody.
Judge,This is the first time I have used this type of bone and also I have just tsated stabilizing my handle materials so I really can't say if the handle will change color with use or age.I know that the knife I carry has a bone handle that isn't stabilized (just sealed with super glue) and I havent had a problem with the use bothering the color at all.
