Outstanding!!!!!! I love everything about that!

Quoted for posterity...

Go Big or Go Home, eh? :) the 4th pic is really eye-catching to me.

Name it "Steve". In reality, I think Drako or Drago are the most naturally-fitting names...

Wow Mike! That's gorgeous! Amazing damascus and I LOOOOVE how polished bone makes a knife really "pop"!

Yeah, a 1/8" layer of orange was my first idea, but the only orange I have is the textured G10 (with the peel off top). Didn't want to have a surface underneath that would hold moisture/grit.

Bad workmanship? NO WAY! Both knife and sheath look great!

After some thinking, I decided to go ahead and recess the hardware. Finished it this morning. I don't have a mill, so I'm doing my inletting freehand with a router bit in my drill press... Some room for improvement there, but overall I like it, and it is less-harsh on the hand now. Had...

Beautiful wood indeed! Great looking handle on a great looking knife.

Beautiful work Ben!

ahhhh, I had missed the WIP before. Great pics and thank you for taking the extra time to document so well.

Great work on both the knife and the box! I'm trying to figure out how you did the handle...

Rustic and beautiful

I am too Jeff... It seems to maximize the amount of usable blade you can get for the length. A few sheath pics. the clip is just on there because I got bored... It works well for IWB though.

Sorry for adding an image to your thread... but I think it fits in with the conversation on "have a guard makes it a weapon". You can't tell me that the top 2 knives are any less purpose-built than the others. Like you said... really weird laws. :) Image from EK Knives website.

You have NOTHING to be ashamed of in that first knife! Yeah, there are things to improve, but that's all part of the learning and growing process. :) Good design, good looking material choices. I guess you don't have much to compare to, but how did you like working with the Kirinite?

Man, that looks great!!!

Thank you. Spalted maple is my #1 favorite wood, and the handle was supposed to be ALL maple. But one errant mistake while countersinking for a corby, and we now have a black bolster. :)
