Thanks Dennis and with your posting leather working tutorials i’m hoping to get better at that. I’d like to do a laced sheath for this one.

It is. I got some billets a while back. In my limited knowledge I would call it damascus in the rough. The billets come ‘layered’ like a cake
. Forging brings out the pattern. I may try a ladder pattern next.

That's a nice looking knife OP, nice back ground in the photo too!
I just got that issue of American rifleman with the story of the men & guns of Iwo Jima.
My uncle was in the marines and fought that battle, and my father was a cop, I inherited his duty revolver,
it looks like the one in your picture, is it a model 66 .357 S&W ?

This one is a model 63 kit gun in 22 caliber. I do have the S&W models 66&19. I collect S&W revolvers.
That is a fine gun, not only to own but To have it as a family heirloom. Did you get the holsters and other items?
