Ring Guard Fighter

[DanGraves]

Have not posted here in a while so thought I would show my most recent. Not often I get to do one for the fun of it, but this was one. It has my Damascus of 1095, 1080, 15n20 a smidgen of nickel. All fittings are Damascus and the handle is African Blackwood with pre-ban elephant ivory inlaid. The blade length is 8 1/4 inches and overall 13 5/8 inches. I had a friend who thought scrimshaw would look good. I will let whoever ends up with it decide. Sorry for the bad picture of the skullcrusher but battery died before I could get a good one. Hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it.

it's a great looking knife, and my favorite of what I've seen you do.
I'd be very interested to know the history of this design.
