Title: Damascus and Koa Bird and Trout
Post by: akaboomer on September 02, 2015, 03:03:00 PM

I have been very busy with family and family issues, but I thought I would show my latest.

It's my Damascus of 1084 and 15N20. Wrought iron and 416 spacers with Koa. Comments and critiques always appreciated.

I met up with Chris early this morning to look at this knife. It is exceptional. He has set a high standard for his work and hopefully will show more and more as he gets em made. Good things to come.
