Very nice all the way around! I especially like the handle contours and the nice twist pattern of the damascus. Great work! -Matt-
 
Nice flow, nice lines, well proportioned. I like the swoop where you brought in the swedge grind. The damascus works well with the maple. You should post this under "Custom and Handmade knives" too.

Where about "central NC" you at?

Thanks for sharing.
 
Hey Mike,

That's a sweeeeet looking knife! I too like the profile, handle shape, colors and lines. It is especially striking to me how well it works to have the wood's grain perpendicular to the pattern weld lines. Beautiful! Can I ask you a couple of questions?

Why the lanyard tube pin? Are you happy with what it does to the overall look?

Would you be willing to explain the pattern weld? How many layers of what thicknesses? How did you arrive at the pattern?

Thanks for sharing. Its a REAL BEAUT!!!

Phil
