Randrop Pattern Damascus EDC

[Graham Fredeen]

Howdy Folks,

Its been a good long while since I made any posts over here, and due to "life" I haven't had a great deal of shop time recently either. Finally got around to getting another blade completed, so thought I'd better come over this way and share it with you folks.

I think this one will be a new EDC for myself. My old EDC is getting a bit beat up and as the only example of my work I usually have on me, it doesn't look too impressive anymore and really doesn't reflect my current work either. So I figure its about time to put the old dog to rest and "update"

Blade is about 368 layer "raindrop" pattern damascus in 1095 & 15N20 Forged by me.
Blade Length: 4" (tip to guard)
OAL: 8.5"
Stabalized spalted maple burl handle
Mosaic pin
416 Stainless guard
Inside pocket carry sheath with pocket clip

Hope you folks enjoy it, I'm pretty pleased with the result

Looks like it has a lot of life left in her. Good looking knife

Thanks everyone .

I should have its "sister" finished in a couple days. It will be a nice hunter, done out of the other half of the same billet as this. Its getting pretty close, just rough shaping on the handle/guard, putting on the final finish and etch for the blade, final assembly and then touch ups and it should be good to go.
