4 1/2 inch damascus cutting edge, filework on spine, brown Mallee burl from Australia, mosaic 1/4 inch pins.

A real fun knife to build.

I like that, Ray! Especially the slight recurve. A curved edge is always more agressive that a straight edge. That should be one deer dressing beauty!

Nice looking pig skinner Ray!  With my lack of time I just may have you get you to build me that damascus knife I'm wanting!

It's there now. When I was on earlier there was only a line. Photobucket was probably hiccuping.

Ray,
     Your making the sheaths too right?
Man those babies are coming along every bit as nice as your knives are!! I just might have to order myself a Damascus knife with sheath before you get so big and famous that I can't afford to.
LOL   :biglaugh:  

Excellent work Sir!

Mystic,

That is EXACTLY what I did...

Trouble is, the dang thing is so gorgeous I can't bring myself to get it all bloody.  I am building up to it though   :pray:  

The sheaths are excellent...Ray made one for one of my other knives off of a sketch and it fits perrrfect.

I just had my Hammond out last night trying out a new sharpening system.  Shaves dry hair now.

NO, Billy. That was a 'leaf' blade that was a little more like a bird and trout...the one we matched up with that pretty bog oak from Illinois, right?
