I don't have an actual name for the pattern, hence I name it "square turkish".
Any sugestion for a better name will be well recived... LOL


Hope I didn't bore you with the pictures, and thanks for looking,

Thats was a cool little WIP with a very nice knife at the end of it . I tried but could not come up with a better name for the pattern but it is some nice L7 over ice.
 
Great execution of a beautiful and difficult pattern.
Personally, I would like to see the edges of your handle butt "softened/contoured" a little.
Thanks for sharing the experience.

Edited to add: what appears to be somewhat squared edges towards the butt, may just be the angle at which the photos were taken.
