handmade by Jockl Greiss
3.3" Blade and pommel made from 380-layer damascus forged by Jerry Rados.
Bolster: twisted damascus.
Handle: Desert Ironwood
OAL: 7.4"
 
I think that this is one of the nicest knives that you have posted pictures of, Andreas. Beautiful, simple lines. The damascus has a really tight pattern. This is a maker that I am going to have to take a better look at.
 
Another thing to note about this maker is the fact that he doesn't use any grinders, all of his blades are fully hand-made without machines whatsoever. He uses only a set of good old files. I believe only the tang holes (if needed) are drilled with a machine, everything else is just time and pure muscle power :)
He only uses hand-forged damascus as well.
 
Some real craftsmanship....and that Ironwood looks like it is simply gorgeous (hard to tell with the lighting)...

Thanks for the picture....
