Recently finished up my first damascus knife. The blade and bolsters are from a damascus raindrop pattern with mammoth tooth handles and vine filework on the spine. The blade is 4" with and OAL of 8 3/4". Heat treated to 60 rc. It was a learning experience working with this stuff and have to admit that I loved it. Can't wait to start on my next one. I have already purchased several billets from Alabama Damascus and eager to see how that will come out. Anyway let me know what you guys think and what I can do to make it better. God Bless.

Mammoth tooth handles! Where do you guys find this stuff? Wade uses Everglade Reindeer antler and you have a mammoth tooth! I need to get out of my cage once in a while and explore for some unique handle material....BTW, Superb blade!
