I just got this one finished up today, for my Dad's 65th Birthday present. My folks are coming over from England for a visit this week & I wanted to surprise Dad with a nice gift.

It's 240 layers of Alabama damascus (1095 & 15N20) Full tang construction with a nickel silver guard, pins & bolsters. The handle is Elephant Ivory. I'll admit, there are a couple of small gaps I'd rather not have left around the guard, but hey, my workshop consists of a 4' length of 2x10 & a 4" machine vice! LOL!

OAL is 14½" with an 11" classic clip-point blade.

The box I made from a Black Walnut tree that fell 3 years ago, lined with velvet......

I'll post a few, better pics tomorrow once the camera is recharged!

That is an awesome piece. I'm sure your Dad will be proud of the knife but more proud of you. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not a big knife person, but that could make me change my mind. :up:
