6" Nichols Damascus kwaiken

[Benr.t]

So believe it or not, this is the very first damascus knife I have ever made! This one is for my dad, using some damascus he picked up at the gathering last year. The Steel is Chad Nichols Boomarang san mai XHP core. The handle has black black sting ray and hammered Zirc menuki. It is double ground and comes to a needle point. The blade is 6" long and would make a wicked edc. The sheath is a Hartsfield style wrapped in some very nice sharkskin. I have one more from the same billet to finish up, it should be just a slick.


Let me know your thoughts!
