Love the swirl in that raindrop damascus. And you got a great chunk of stag too, it looks like!

 

[wickettedge]

Rookie82 yeah I am pleased with it, it is a bit stiff on the open, but I really like it!

 

[wickettedge]

I also got the 154CM version, the stag on it is really nice.

Very nice! Next out will be the Phoenix Jack in Green Maple Burl with Damascus, and then after that the Amber Stag!

Here is a new one to show for this thread. Took me a while to get nice photos. 2014 Fish Scaler in Amber Stag.

Absolutely blown away at this knife, 1 of 7 made with beautiful stag and engraving. I am putting this one on the exchange today because it is just a bit too big for me, but wow! Wanted to add this to the photo thread before I passed it on to a new home.

Very cool knife. Hard to believe only 7 were made.

I see the new green maple burl Tuna's are released. I'll be sure to post a photo of mine when I can. This is the image off their website.

How thick is the handle on this one?

Not too thick. A little under 1/8 inch on each side.

That's great! Show a photo of it when you have it. I have mine here but didn't get a nice picture of it yet.

No denying that is for sure "raindrop" damascus. Great knife! What do you think? I think the pull on these is very smooth, and a tad lighter than it was on the burnt stag versions. Still a strong pull, but that is part of the pattern design for swaybacks in general.

 

[wickettedge]

Yep, I would say the pull is a bit lighter on this version. I didn't have to work it over and oil like I did with my stag models.
