Thin and sleak Persian folder

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

I was finally able to finish this this morning. It has been on my workbench for about a month.
Blade is .105 thick, 3/8in wide and 3-1/2 in long made of Devin Thomas Raindrop pattern Damascus. Front and rear blosters are Delbert Ealy Cheeta pattern damascus, and the scales are GradeA+ white mother of pearl. Fully fileworked liners, backbar (inside and out), screws and 14K thumbstud. The liners have been anodized gold. Overall length is 8in. There are also 2 blacklip pearl inlays in the backbar.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck

Filework

Beautiful!! This knife looks like a huge amount of work went into it.

Keith,
You have no idea! I spent lots of time planning on where to put certain filework designs. If you notice the pearl inlays are framed in the filework pattern.

Looks great Chuck! Do you happen to have a picture showing the damascus in the bolsters a bit closer?

I'll try to get a better pic than this one. The pattern is wavy lines with cats eyes between them. It almost looks like the cactus that some makers use as knife handles, with the holes alternating between the lines.

Thanks Chuck, once again it looks wonderful.
