Just finished up the twin to a Walrus/Damascus Dogbone I did a while back for a great client.
The first of the set sported Walrus scales to go with it's "W"-modified Turkish twist four-bar Damascus, with, of course, Sterling Silver domed pins and accents.
This one is more of the same, but with rare "Birdseye" African Blackwood scales to set off the silver and Damascus.
Both have 10 1/2 inch blades, and are take-downs with Blackwood and Damascus T-D tools.
This will go off to Paul Long for a matching sheath, and then to the client and it's twin.
Here's a close-up of the "Birdseye." By the time the wood has been oiled, and all the silver and Damascus trim is in place, you'll need to turn the handle in the light to see the "Birdseye" pattern in the handle.
That's alright: it's part of the dog-in-the-manger elitism that makes us feel like we know why we spend so much time and money on these things, even if normal people think we're nuts...
(hope you've got a big screen, and aren't looking at this on a phone!)
