Hello again. Here's your chance to pick up another Fry Custom Knife. This is the last of the ones I had left after the guild show. This knife is a bit unusual for me. One, it's one of my first Damascus blades. I purchased this Damascus from a Hankins on the Bladeforums exchange. This is carbon steel Damascus, from 1095 and 15N20 in a twist pattern. Two, I don't do many stick tangs, and this is the first time I've done a double-thick guard. This knife has two layers of 1/4" 416 stainless with a copper spacer in between. Another cool thing about this knife is the handle. I have had this piece of wood in my "stash" for about four years. The wood is juniper burl from Ruidoso, New Mexico, and I carried the stump out of the forest over my shoulder. I cut it and dried it for two years, then had it professionally stabilized. OAL is 8 1/2 inches with a blade of 3 5/8. Comes with a tooled right hand sheath. Price is $SOLD.

Excellent work. I'm coming up w/ a similar style as I write this. Imagine pulling that out in the field w/ your hunting buddies. You'd be the talk of the campfire.
