Just finished this one as a donation for our rod & gun club fund raiser. I won't do a sheath until the winner is determined so I can know whether to make a right or left hand sheath.

This was made from a large piece of 52100, 5160 and 15N20 damascus. I didn't make the billet, but the chatoyance (see, I'm even improving my vocabulary on this site) is unreal. It looks like a really nice piece of fiddle-back maple with the stripes moving in the light.

Very nice Ron!

Thanks Lin.

See, my handles are getting better since I bought one of yours to see what a good handle really feels like  

Ron, a great looking knife!  Very handy size.  The handle material is beautiful and shaped to fit the hand!

Super looking knife! Is that ironwood burl handle?

Bodork, it's stabilized redwood burl. I picked up 4 blocks almost identical to this one for a really good price. 3 of them will go on a set of smaller utility knives - a small one for my younger son, smaller yet for his wife and a baby bear sized one for my 6-year old granddaughter (which she won't get until my son is comfortable with giving it to her).

Very solid and clean design and craftsmanship.

That knife is impossible not to like!
