Not wanting to get too far ahead on the KITH, I decided to make a similar knife, only out of Damascus.
I bought a 3x15" piece of Alabama Buckshot Damascus.
I decided to do the guard and Blade from the same material. There was enough to do this Blade, the guard and one more knife.
Here the rough grind is about 1/2 done.
Then rough grind done.
Then I worked on the guard. The experience I got from making the C Guard for the KITH knife, made this one go very easy.
The spacer is drilled but not filed to fit, and the handle is drilled and roughed out.
.
Thats where it sits tonight. I will probably work on it more on Monday.
