This was my first attempt at a low layer twist pattern. The blade measures 4 inches. Overall length of the knife is 8.5 inches. The blade, guard, and butt cap are made of the low layer twist Damascus combination of 1080 and 15N20 steels. The sheath is made of 9 ounce heavy leather with the center carved to resemble an alligator print. It was dyed, molded, tooled, and hand sewn.
I plan to take pictures from start to finish when I make another one next week. Santa came early and I got a lot of goodies to play with. Beautiful highly figured walnut, Koa, and Mango woods, just waiting on the steels.
