Just completed. Still need to build the sheath. 14 3/4" overall, Matt Walker custom dmascus for the blade, guard and ferrule. The handle is giraffe bone with titanium liners. And it desparately needs a name. I have been calling it the big striped thingy which really does not do it justice. What do you think of the knife and what would you name it.
Thanks

If you're into the whole oriental thing a good name would be "Byakko". Byakko is the white tiger that guards the west and would only show himself when the emperor ruled with absolute virtue or when the world was at peace. What better weapon to have your side in order to rule with peace?

If you're into animals then the striped "Hyena" may be for you. It has black and white stripes, just like that work of art you created and. . . well hyenas are kind of cool in my opinion.

That's the best I have off the top of my head, do what you will with it and good luck with whatever name you settle on. Bottom line though is that no name will do that terrific blade justice. . . hm. . . justice. . . striped prison uniforms. . .
 
This Handsome knife reminds me of the Pin-striped Suits the gangsters of the 1930's like Al Capone, Charles"lucky" Luciano, Frank Costello. would wear.
So I am naming this bad-boy "The Wise Guy"
