San-Mai & Maple

[Alan Davis Knives]

I finished this one several days ago and just wanted to share it here as it is already spf. It is 10" overall, full flat ground from a Larry Withrow san mai billet with a 3" swedge & rope filework on spine & stabilized spalted maple from Mark (BurlSource on BF)
Thanks for looking
Alan
