I like it . The handle is out standing, the way the guard/sub hilt work with the stag very nice.

Wow, wow and wow! Great all over.

Handle end must have taken for ever to finish.

I used to never like sub hilts, but when used for practical applications, the sub hilt feature will come in handy, as handles tend to get very slippery when used for wet (hunting) work. The sub hilt insures, that your grip on the knife dont slip when withdrawing a wet knife/handle which might or might not get twisted in your hand at the same time.

I want one.

that is a sweet knife.

Is that damascus pattern caused by a twist or a grind?

 

[David Loukides]

Thank You for your Comments.
Hi Willie71,
I twisted the billet and then forged to shape.

Love it a departure from the norm with the scale materials and its an inspired choice good work .

It's too fine detail to show, yet the flats on the bolster and lugs have a satin rubbed finish and the finger areas have a high polish. Very subtle, yet interesting.

I love the damascus on this piece. Visually engaging.

Thank you, Dave. Outstanding work. :thumbup:
