Stainless Damascus Gents knife

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

Just sharpened this up, meaning it's finished. Blade is made from Devin Thomas raindrop pattern stainless damascus.
5-32 stock, 3/4in wide. Blade is 3 1/8 in long, knife is 6 1/2 overall. Bolsters are Bruce Evans ladder pattern damascus, but they kinds turned out like a random pattern. The billett was an early attempt at a ladder pattern, but they still look cool! Scales are Apple Coral. The back of the knife is also fileworked with a vine pattern. It will soon be on it's way to Chris Kravit for a custom leather sheath.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck

Very purty Chuck.I think it would make a really sweet necker.

I find this to be a particularly fine knife. The damascus blade and bolsters contrast very nicely and I love the way you have ground the blade. Is it a false top edge or will it be sharpened?

That coral handle really looks great. A real winner in my opinion.

I was under the impression that since coral is almost like stone it does not need to be stabilized. I did however coat the scales with super glue to fill in the pores.
