hey guys long time no see ,i've been on a 5 week break from knives "because of Darci's softball games on sat and sundays and prc. 4 days a week ,and her basketball at night ,it dont leave much time for the knives,so i've been making this damascus for about 5 weeks 1/2 hour here 1/2 hour there .so this weekend i stayed up until 2am grinding this blade out ,just had to make a knife i was going crazy not making something.I had no great ideas of what i wanted to make so i came up with this knife its sorta a copy of a knife darci won in a raffle from the great Tracy "BossDog" she wont let me even hold the knife HA HA i love the lines, shape but the handle was a little short for me <not like i could of used it without darci throwing a softball at my head LOL. so i added 1" to the handle and 1 1/2" to the lgt. of the blade to make it fit me. Hope you dont mined BOSSDOG !!!! this knife is for me . so anyways her it is hope you like its 1095 and 15n20 i dont know how many layers "tons" this was my attempt at a basket weave i saw it on bruse bumps site just had to try.i still need to set the pins but thats it.

I like the modern handle contour on the more traditional blade profile. Great job overall, Clint!
