Great damascus and finish as always John. I'm only 300 million belts away, or thereabouts, by my counting.

well now...that is a special knife!
Dogbone Dirk for a seafarin' gunslinger, (where's he off to? The East...must be).
Love the wavy choil and wavy damascus. Sharkskin too, and Walrus be a sea creature as well.
I think you must have a little salt water in your veins John

 

[worldwood]

that is amazing! I cant find the words.

 

[BladeScout]

Ouch - sensory overload when seeing that!!
Everything kust like I like it; coffin handle, swept clip, straight lines without much fanfare in the way of curved clip etc.
Fantastic knife.

All class and elegance as usual John. Very nice.

 

[Aaron Wilburn]

[JParanee]

As good as it gets on all accounts

 

[Ben Seward]

That is sooo CUTE!! Great stuff, John...as usual.:thumbup:

 

[Manuel Quiroga G.]

So beautiful...
Do you have a close up picture of damascus in the blade?
Terrific job all over the place.

 

[Gary Mulkey]

Another beauty, John. You set the standard with these.

Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful work John.

 

[Dawkind]

Glad to hear there are more to come.....many more, I hope!

Manuel,

I added a couple of photos, including this one of the Damascus.

It's a simple "W" modified Turkish Twist; three layers of low count "flat" with two layers of "W", brought down to square bar, twisted, and 4-barred.

Beautiful, John.

That would be a cornerstone of any collection of fixed blades, and even MS fixed blades!

It all looks so.... easy. However, had there been a W.I.P. it would have run ten pages to get to this point.

And then there is Paul's work. ^^^ Same thing applies.

Bravo. I wish I could 'Like' this post. I do.

Wonderful package, really love the twist.

 

[erik markman]

Wonderful work!

One thing I noticed at Blade is that your knives are among the few that look the same in at the table as they look on the glamourpictures.:thumbup:

 

[Patrice Lemée]

Another home run John. (And Paul) :thumbup:

And thanks for the "simple" comment, that sure made me laugh.

Gorgeous in every respect - and that ivory is delicious.
