Here is one I just finished Black cherry handle, nickle silver guard and rap. Blade is made from 1084 ,1095 and 15n20
let me know what you think. It will be going into leather tomorrow.over all 15.5 blade is 5.5 , 3/16 blade at the nickle just under 1/4 IMG_0677.jpgIMG_0676.jpgIMG_0675.jpgIMG_0673.jpgIMG_0674.jpgIMG_0678.jpg
 
this one was taken from a lot of different knifes i have seen. it feels good in the hand. this was the 3rd peace of Damascus i have made I think i should have done another fold and had 288 layers. next time. the cherry was a crotch burl that i had drying for 10 years cut planks with the chain saw and then to the table saw to get the burl in the blocks.the wrap around the blade was a practice for the next San Francisco knife
