The Sicario

[bladegrinder]

I don't usually tag names to my knives but I did for this one, I didn't want to call it a bowie so what the heck...I call it the Sicario.
Alabama Damascus, 7" hollow ground blade with decorative filework on the spine, 4 3/4" handle of Australian Sheoak with black G10 liners, nickel silver pins and lanyard hole. I have a sheath planed for this with Elephant hide inlay. I'll post new pics when that is finished up. Thanks for looking

Nice! Good contrast between the blade and the handle.

Exactly what I was going to say.

Thanks Guys, after looking thru my wood stash I found this block of Sheoak I bought from Bad Dog Burls probably 10 years ago and said...this is the knife for this block I've been sitting on for so long. Thuya Burl and Olive wood were concidered for a few seconds but I think that this Sheoak makes this knife pop. I'm going to get started on the sheath tomorrow.

Here's the sheath I finished yesterday, Elephant hide inlay.
