Caramel Ivory Dagger

[SVanderkolff]

Just finished this one for the Canadian Knifemakers Guild Show in August. The knife is 10" overall with a frame handle and coin edged brass liners. The blade steel is Takefu Suminagashi from Japan. It has a "white steel" core with 5 layers of contrasting softer steel on each side. the guard is 416 with brass coin edged accents and the handle slabs are caramel interior mammoth ivory. Please let me know what you think. All responses greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

I like it. Clean and elegant with the caramel mammoth and the straight layers of soft
steel go very well with the hollow grind and dagger lines.

I was going to say clean and elegant, but Dan beat me to it.... I'll just say lovely.
