Been working on this one for a about a week. Throught I would see what you all think of it. Steel is radial mosaic damascus, with nickle/silver guard, spacers, pins and butt cap. Tang is threaded and the butt cap screwed on. Handle material is Gaboon Ebony, OAL 12 7/8" with a 7 3/4" blade. The top clip is sharpened and if you look real close you can see the temper line just below the grind lines of the clip going back into the spine.

Great looking fighter Bill.I sure do like the looks of your radial Damascus.
 
That is a fantastic knife! Great damascus. Those radials really pop!
Really outstanding.
The blade style is wonderful and it is balanced well by the handle. I love the spacers and the way the curves flow though them.

Now the only thing I dislike...and you did ask for what we thought...I really dislike your etched name on the blade. Too large. It really takes away from the rest of a beautiful piece of work. That is the only thing I dislike about it. I prefer an unobtrusive mark.
 
Thanks guys, this one really went together nicely. It was just one of those that just seem to fall into place, and we all know that doesn't happen very often.
Shappa, thanks for your honest opinion. I am starting on a bowie today and I am going to try something different when it comes to etching my mark, hopefully it will not be so outstandish.

Thanks

Bill
