Sneak peek (finished pictures added)

Terrific piece....like others, I especially like
the damascus...
 
Thanks very much everyone for your comments! I'll post the specs tomorrow, and maybe some more pics.

Thanks Matt! It was very time consuming, but worth it. Still not perfect. I could have done better grinding the center line straighter, but oh well. I think the the customer is still getting his money's worth.
 
Here's the promised specs:

Blade is 16-5/8" long

Handle adds exactly 5" more

Blade is 300 layers of 1095/15n20 butterfly pattern damascus.

Blade is 2-1/8" at the widest

Guard is O1/L6 opposing twist. About 150 layers

Pommel is straight pattern 1084/15n20. I think about 350 layers.

Handle, as mentioned previously, desert ironwood burl

Spacers are silicon bronze with file work. This is the first knife I've used file worked spacers on. The only knife I've used file work on the spine is stuck in a tree in my back yard. LOL

Balance point is 3 to 3-1/2" from the guard.
 
Beautiful work as always. Love the damascus and the silicon bronze spacers really set off the handle and pommel.
