cool knife, that is some sweet damascus! Welcome to the forums & good luck w/your sale, hope to see more of your work!
 
Help me out I have not recieved much response, What is it? Is the knife ugly? too much $ ? do not like the pattern? What do I need to do to sell this thing?
 
I think you did a great job on the knife. It's presentation is very nice and the blade shape looks to be a useful design. Personally, this wouldn't matter to me, but I think it would help for you to know exactly what materials went in to the knife...for example, your handle material is listed as either giraffe or camel. Which one is it?
 
Safetyman, thanks for the input. I wish I knew for sure what material that is and I do not want to lie about it. Will have to keep better records on things like that in the future.
 
The length when closed is just under 3-3/8" and the blade is 2-1/2" from the bolster to the tip. She's not a big knife.
 
Personally I really like the knife, looks great. You only have 6 posts though. Therefore, without looking into your work further, you would be concidered a relative newcomer. Perhaps start your price point a bit lower and raise it as your reputation raises. Concidered Mr. Davison who can sell a $500-600 slip in 5-10 minutes. It's because of his reputation as an excellent maker. My 2 cents. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Since you asked:

More pictures- left side, right side, open, closed, top and bottom.

Browse through the forum and see what other makers show, how they list- what they describe and what they have priced their knives at.
 
Quality full size pics are essential. not 'thumbnail' pics.
search this forum for knives sold by Todd Davison and Ken Erickson for 2 examples of the picture quality required.
If you are going to sell on-line you need to spend some time learning photography skills and building a light box to place the knives in to get these good pics.

Everyone has given you good advice, but pay close attention to what Colog says in his post.
I bought a couple Todd Davidson knives here a few years ago in the $250 range. That's what he was pricing his knives at the time, but since then knives have been in very high demand & his prices have risen accordingly. That's what a strong following will do for a knifemaker whose knives are highly sought after.
I think Colog hit the nail on the head in saying you might want to consider lowering your price point for now & raise it as your reputation rises.
