A Fighter to the end

[Jesse Latham]

This is the knife I was grumbling about last week. It put a valiant effort. 12 inches overall with a 6.5 inch edge. Low layer 15n20 and 1095, stabilized spalted maple with G10 accents. Stainless guard and domed pin. Several firsts on this one. Pretty cool book match on the scales.

That one is a WOW. Nice job all around. You should be proud of that one.

 

[Von Gruff]

Love the spalting in the maple with its following the damascus pattern.

 

[Rick Otts]

You did a fine job fighting that one! I would say you won

 

[Sean Jones]

I'll second opaul...WOW! That's a beauty

 

[Jesse Latham]

Thanks for the kind words!

 

[Chris Railey]

Awesome knife.

 

[Merle]

Nice! Agree with Von Gruff about the Damascus and spalted handle complimenting each other. Good work!

Very nice work! I agree with the others.... the handle and blade really fit well together. This piece is eye-catching to say the least.

 

[Jesse Latham]

Thanks everyone. I had thought about using Koa but while poking around in the handle block stash the spalted maple spoke up. Sometimes it pays to listen.

I really like the lower layer Demascus. Very nice!!

 

[C Craft]

Jessie, you indeed won the fight! The handle material and the Damascus compliment each other well! It appears the handle is a continuation of the Damascus!
