I just got this one finished up today, for my Dad's 65th Birthday present. My folks are coming over from England for a visit this week & I wanted to surprise Dad with a nice gift.

It's 240 layers of Alabama damascus (1095 & 15N20) Full tang construction with a nickel silver guard, pins & bolsters. The handle is Elephant Ivory.
I'll admit, there are a couple of gaps that I would've liked to not see around the guard, but hey, my workshop is a 4' length of 2x10 & a 4" machine vice!   :D   LOL!

OAL is 14½" with an 11" classic clip-point blade.

The box I made from a Black Walnut tree that fell 3 years ago, lined with velvet......

 

I'll post a few, better pics tomorrow once the camera is recharged!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!  and that's all I can say about that!

Excellent knife Rob. Your Dad will love it.

Very nice work, Rob.
If that's what you can do on a piece of 2x10 and a 4" vice, you'd be dangerous in a "real" shop.
Great gift for your Dad.
