@Russ Andrews just finished up this 9.5” OAL damascus hunter that turned out fantastic! I love Russ’s ladder damascus pattern so I had inquired about matching that up with some Ringed Gidgee. The goal in my mind was to continue the flowing horizontal and vertical lines of the damascus all the way through the handle and I say it was a success!
It might be too busy for some but I love how it attacks your visual senses. The handle is pure comfort no matter how you hold it and it has that nice “warm” feeling as well. Russ decided that the knife could use a damascus spacer behind the guard and he was spot on. It looks right at home there and provides a nice index point for your finger which is a nice added bonus.
Thank you again Russ. Your time and craftsmanship is very much appreciated and I’ll be sure to let you know how the knife performs this hunting season!
Here you’ll notice a small round plug in the butt. The tang is locked in place by a nut inside the handle, then sealed up. Solid!
