Just finished and it'll probably be going to the AR Show next month. 5 1/8" Damascus blade, just shy of sharp clip, SS/Damascus hardware and some nice walnut burl for the handle. Turned the little balls on my mill then tig welded them onto the 303 stainless guard. Sure wish I had a lathe
Hope you like it.
Thanks, Doug

That's incredibly handsome, to say the least. It's got a robust, yet elegant design to it. Very nice all the way around!

The whole thing is very nice but the guard just sets it apart. Makes me want to saddle a pony & hit the trail. Awesome knife!

Very nice Doug!!! I hope I get to see it at the show. I have to work that Saturday until noon but I will be there as soon as I can. I like the profile and the slim handle. A real beauty.

I sure do like that knife, Doug. It's classic but has enough of a different look to really set it apart. As pretty as it is, the knife is one that can do it all. And I know how sweet your knives are!
