Damascus and Koa Bird and Trout
« 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.

Handsome knife. Prayers that family issues are manageable with desired outcomes.

Not sure how I missed this one...I love a good bird and trout, and this one is better than good!  Excellent Job, Chris!
