Handle is mother of pear and Damascus and nickle silver.
The blade is Damascus and is 6.5 " long
the over all is 10.75 "

Looks like you have captured the look of a S.F. Gold Rush Gambler's knife!

Send it to a pro for some really great pics to show it off!

This is one of my favorite styles,very nice. Did you line the sheath? I made a nickle silver sheath in this style but my blade rattles inside and I haven't figured out how to retain it. I was thinking of a kind of sleeve in the throat to fit a tapered recaso.
You did a great job, thanks for posting.

what I did was the throat was made a little larger to allow for felt to be installed at the top that seemed to do the trick.

Thanks Stu,
Brownells sells felt so I'll order some and give it a try.
