Damascus Bowie with some **PREMIUM** Koa!

[J. Doyle]

Here's my last one finished to take to Seattle. This is my first damascus bowie ever. Sort of a random pattern but I think 'Can of Worms' is a better name. All comments and discussion welcome.

Hand forged bladed and fittings from my own damascus of 15n20 and 1084
13 1/2" overall with an 8 1/2" blade, .235" it the ricasso with full drastic distal taper
Clip is just shy of sharp
Rounded spine and ricasso edge
Thorn and vine fileworked bronze spacer
Premium stabilized curly Koa handle
Fileworked Damascus assembly screw

Very nice John. I love random damascus, especially working with it because you never know what you're gonna get until you etch it. Every aspect is nice and clean but I really like the blade and fittings. Wood like that don't hurt anything either. LOL

Nice knife, the detail and bold pattern are great

Another beauty. You just keep turning em out. It's getting hard to pick my favorite. I love the guard on this one.
