Just got this photo of the last knife I finished before the busy summer season hit. That's a tightly twisted 4 1/2" Damascus blade and guard with some very nice stabilized curly Koa I brought home from HI.

Thanks for looking
Beautiful curves and flow throughout. Great job!
That is a beauty Doug!
Gorgeous Knife Doug!
That's fantastic Doug! I really like the skinny guard on this one, and the Koa is off the hook!
Doug that is an amazing knife, would love to see more pics.
Outstanding as always. I just finished up a set of koa knives. One of my favorite woods to work with. I'm a little jealous that you got to bring yours back with you and I just got to order mine.

Exceptional!
That is my favorite knife of yours you've posted. The execution and flow is top shelf! :)
Very nice Doug!
I am working on a similar profiled blade and size, I had thought my handle may be a bit long, after seeing your knife I feel better about my project.
I like the guard too!

All I can say is "Wow!"
That is a thing of beauty Doug! The Koa is exceptional!
Thanks Gang, it did come together nicely.
That is amazing. I am in awe of the continued talent in this forum.
Doug, it came out more then "nicely" In my view its the best knife you've posted, and that's saying something.
Now I will start the chant.... " MORE PICS MORE PICS MORE PICS>>>" :readit:
Just for you Matt ;) but my photos are pretty sucky compared to most on here. Thanks again

The Koa really accents the damascus. Beautiful.
I'm pretty sure that's my new favorite as well. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: (both thumbs)
Very nice,indeed!
Knives just don't get any nicer than that one, Doug. Nothing about it I don't love.
Allan
Very nice Doug!
WOW!!
I would say that knife has it all! The "it" factor is maxed out, really like everything about it :notworthy:
What are the spec's?
Outstanding is all I can say!
