Stag/Damascus Bowie-lookin' 'thing'

[Karl B. Andersen]

Here's a little thing I've kept myself busy with.
378 layers of 1084/15N20.
Damascus fittings made from some W2 and 203E.
Sambar Stag handle with mild steel Take-down finial.
Finial and fittings were hot blued for contrast.
Fun stuff.

That's a really nice-looking "thing" Karl. Sweet piece of stag and a nice damascus blade.

Karl,

Really nice, great Stag set off by those blued damascus fittings, and that laddered random must just shimmer in person.

I like the dark look of this one Karl, it's subtle and not too flashy, but quite elegant. Very nice work.

Looks great Karl. Awesome piece of stag, nice shape and nice damascus.

I think a bit of filework on the spacer above the guard would make it even better lookin however
