Knife makers gift exchange knife

I received a very unique piece of low layer count 1095 /15n20 Damascus as part of my Secret Santa gift. Today I ground out a blade and got it ready for heat treatment.



It's going to have a very cool tiger stripe pattern when finished. Thank you Jim Moenck for the billet and scales.

I didn't catch this post until today Andrew. We were busy with Christmas, and meeting my great grandson for the first time. I like the shape of that knife. Looking forward to seeing it when it is done.
