This knife is for a collector on the forums. I'm extremely happy with the way it turned out. This last week has been very hectic. I had to have knives built for a display at the county fair as well as having one to show at a forging demo I was doing at the Heartland conference being held at my in-laws ranch. I got three of them done, this one, an integral, and a bowie, but I was hoping to have four. I'll show the others later.

Hope you enjoy it.

The specs are:

Blade - 5 inches of swirly w's damascus in 1084 and 15n20 with a raised clip(my first one).

Guard - 416 pressed fit with black and red spacers.

Handle - Stabilized Amboyna with a domed 1/16" pin.

OAL - 9 3/4"

Coop,

Thanks for your help, and kind words. I found the URL but it still wouldn't go. I give up, I'm sticking to making knives. I'll let my wife do the photo posting, she's a computer teacher and not technically challenged like me.
 
Mike who?
:p
I mean, seriously, where did you come from all of a sudden? Seems like only a few months ago you posted a knife which blew my mind. Now this.
How long have you been at this? And why haven't you been on my radar for longer than a few months?:confused:

I gotta spend more time in shoptalk.

Oh about the knife; raised clip:thumbup:, psychedelic pattern welds:thumbup:, a super cool retro guard/spacer combo:thumbup:, shapely ergonomy with beautiful wood nicely finished and a classy domed pin:thumbup:. There is still so much more to say about this knife, but I'm tuckered out, so I'll just say; WELL DONE!
 
VERY nice knife indeed! That damascus looks great in the picture and must be spectacular when holding it. The burl looks great too!
