This is an integral san mai damascus blade made of 1070 and 1010, with hard core of 52100. Blade length is about 3 1/2".

The handle was made of a really nice micarta that has some cool effects under the sun, due to those little white strands on one of the fabric, which algo makes the handle to have a certain grippyness. It also has a leather spacer.

I agree, but have one comment and one question.

Comment: although that micarta is frickin' sweet, it looks plain black in some of those pictures, and I'd think it would in low light, also.

Question: is there any specific point to the V form at the butt, or is it just for looks/style?
 
I think it will look better in person, when I get it...
White worms in my knife handle. I'm cool with that...
