I sent these two out to Jim Cooper to have shot and just got the email pics from him. I built them for a show we're having up here next month but emailed pics to a guy over in WA who's bought a couple of knives in the past. They wont be going to the show, he bought them both... :thumbsup:
Thought you might like to see them.
My first sub-hilt, 6" random damascus, 416 fittings and some of the best koa you'll ever run across.

This is 5" of twist damascus, stainless fittings and a little piece of elk antler.

Those are incredible Doug!
Especially the Koa handled knife.
awesome!!! I don't know which one I like more.
Nice :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Doug,
Those are so beautiful they make me wish I had seen the pictures before the guy in WA did. :saywhat: Just incredible! They absolutely blow me away. That twist Damascus is gorgeous.
Allan
Dang Doug, those are just it. I can't decide which is my favorite.
Just decided, both are.
Wow-really great looking knives. What kind of steels did you use for the sub-hilt?
Jeremy
Love me some Koa!!! Beautiful pair!
Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate it. I made the damascus in both knives from 1080 and 15N20.
Very nice, I like them both. :thumbsup:
Sub-Hilts WOW!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I love the combo shot Doug.
Where on Earth did you come across Elk antler? ;)
I guess now you can go back to Hawaii and get some more Koa!
Really awesome work there buddy.
You're getting a reputation Doug. This time, it's a good one. ;) Look at those joints! :notworthy:
The word classy comes to mind...Nice work Doug!
Great photographer you have there as well!
Wow that is nice Doug! Lin hit the nail on the head LOOK at those Joints! You got it going on there bud! Good Job
Those are beautiful, Doug!
Dan
Wow, those are beautiful!
I think that is one of the best looking sub-hilts I've ever seen. I love the contrast between the dark grey damascus and the koa. Just awesome.
Love them both. The gaurd on the sub hilt is perfect.
great works Doug...
Those are awesome Doug, sorry I missed ya the other day. Hope you had a good trip.
Im gonna need one of your beauties at some point
