Alabama Damascus blade and spacer, with copper guard and double dyed maple burl. Most things went as planned, and sone didn’t! Lol. Took my time and did not move ahead with flaws. It ain’t perfect, but skills are improving.

Very nicely done! Really love that copper guard. You don't see copper used very much but it works really well with that knife. " Took my time and did not move ahead with flaws." If we all did that we would be so much better off. :) Kudos on the knife. She a beaut!

I use copper on most of my knives cause I love it. I was going to turn it black and just couldn’t do it this time.
 
"Close enough isn't good enough" is one of the biggest lessons one has to learn. I bet I think that the knife looks better than you think it does.

maybe. I see the issues I had keep thinking about what would have made it better, but I am very happy with it. People seem to like it other than being a large knife. I got another billet in today and have another on the way.We will see if we can have lightening strike twice.
