Beautiful Ray. Do you do the leather work too?

Very nice, the profile is something I haven't seen before and looks very functional.

No way.  I used to try but I'd make four or five per knife trying to get them right!!! I have a couple different guys who do them for me

Ray,

I love the blade shape, love the handle shape, love the wood, and I especially love the chatoyance in the Damascus. Can you tell us the dimensions of the knife?

[Ray Hammond]

The OAL is 6 1/2". Handle is 3 3/8" blade 3 1/8"

Handle being curved though offers a greater overall surface for your fingers than its straight line length would let you imagine and  a more comfortable grip because either your index finger or your thumb goes in the valley over the Ricasso providing tremendous control over where the blade is at all times.

     

It's a caping knife- but honestly for a whitetail it's all the knife needed for every job from field dressing skinning quartering- that point will really pop those leg joints.

I always use a fillet knife if de-boning meat but other than that it'll tackle a WT nicely.    



Compact - light in hand- superb control- and it's purty!!!

Thanks again for the nice comments.   I've got several of this style in the works
