Scott forged this new full-tang design out of twist Damascus, and then he gave it a wicked black finish were calling "Obsidian". The Rover is a bush-craft knife, so it got a special sheath that incorporates a Light-My-Fire ferro rod and multiple tie down points. See what you think.

Scott tapered the tang and bull-nosed the scales.

Scott also integrated a fire-striker into the butt of the knife that works well with the ferro rod.

Thanks for looking!

Agree Scott, cool design. Tube pins for lashing, cut out for ease of sharpening, thumb ramp in scales, and the rear fire striker is a great touch. Proper bush knife in a quality set of pants.
 
I really like the finish, I'm a big fan of dark knives... Would you mind sharing how you did that? You can PM me with the details if you'd rather. I'd appreciate it

And I'll admit... I was pretty jealous when I saw the firestriker-butt idea... Why didn't I think of that?! :o Genius!:D
