Desert Ironwood handle, 1/8 inch mosaic pin, 416 Stainless guard, differential h/t 1084/15N20 damascus drop point blade 6 inches long.

Fantastic, Ray!
I truly admire that knife.
Is that Twist Damascus?

yes...a pretty open pattern it seems as well. My customer orders seem to run to the more dramatic looking stuff.
