This is another one I have gotten finished up and am putting back to take to the Blade Show..

It is 13 3/4" AOL with an 8" blade from my "Smoke Screen" Damascus. The handle is African Blackwood. The guard & Butt cap are the same Damascus as the blade only reduced 3 times to give it a tighter pattern, then Nitre Blued to a almost black color.

Please let me know what youthink!!

I like it a lot. While I'm not normally a fan of really big damascus patterns the way your's sort of flows and ripples is special. The blackwood sets it off perfectly and what I can see of the guard pattern also seems to fit well.

Steve, I really like the lines, damascus pattern and especially the finger guard!

Very nice!
