I had this made for a another buddy of mine. It is a Benchmade Skirmish HK copy that has been stretched out a little and the thumb grooves left off. Pattern is tiger stripe damascus. Blade is 4" and OAL is 8.5". Scales are stabilized xcut spalted Hackberry. Black liners with mosaic pins and brass lanyard tube. Fudged the sheath a little down at the end...not sure how it happened other than not paying attention.
great looking knife looks like a real user, i love all the pretty knives people make but some are so nice such as this that i would find myself not wanting to use it lol.
That is a beauty for sure. I am with you Kansas, it would be hard to use.
