Very cool.........I like the way you used all the different materials. Did you forge the damascus?

Thanks Chuck, you have a package on the way.
Darcy, I did not forge that damascus, it is a commercially produced American product.

It is hard to combine so many materials and come off with such a beauty. Well done! How did you patina the copper?

Snake, that is a very cool knife!  I especially like the osage & Bacote combo!  It would be interesting to see the bocote over the osage too!

I also like the horn pommel.

Very nice work

Brock, Mr. Sinclair just custom built a knife for me from the same billet as this one (Coupe de grace), and it is an exceptational display of craftsmanship, in form and function. The knife and the leather are top shelf. I'm with Roughcountry, Can't wait to how the sheath turns out.

thanks panhead....I wanted it and was ready to buy....but decided against it...too pretty for me to beat around with in woods.  So going to work with him on a custom one after first of year when he has some time.....it is a pretty one though...for sure.

I have never seen a knife like that and would never be able to dream one up, but I sure do like it. You should be proud of yourself for so many reasons on its creation.

Yeah, buddy!  That is too cool.  You've got a good eye for combining unique elements into a functional, attractive, and cohesive package.  Kudos!   :)

Snake,

That is one of the more unique knives I've seen.  I love it and wish it were headed to Austin.  Well done!

A while back I sent you a PM say that your most recent post was your best work yet, yeah well, that is now 2nd tier.

Very well done.

That knife matches my MOAB perfectly.  I think they were made to be together.....
