well it took longer than expected, but at last there ready.
turned out real nice i think. D2 blade mirror polished with seasoned walnut scales and brass liners, handle shape to a classic coke bottle pattern. brass pins and central mosaic button, file work on spine of blade and fully surrounding the tang, pattern forged damascus bolsters.
made to be a strong working knife to last a lifetime but also pleasing to look at. hope the new owners like them as much as i do. for sure keeping one for myself this time.

just wanted to say thanks to all those who ordered one of my knives.
unfortunately as i was working on a recent knife i had a little accident..
knife sliped and went tip first through the palm of my left hand.
hardly felt a thing but mother of god did it bleed.....
anyway had to get a few stitches in and have my hand bandage into a fist to prevent me from opening my hand and thus the wound.
no permanent damage. but will have to put planned build on hold for awhile.
again thanks to all for your support. will be back at the grinder in jig time..
when i say blood sweat and a few tears go into my knives guess i telling the truth.
