2 dressed in ivory and damascus, one folding, one fixed

[John M Cohea]

Just got these pics in from Chuck.First is a friction folder.Don't remember the exact specs, but the blade is around 3" with an OAL of about 6 1/2 or 7".
Blade is Tribal pattern damascus by Chad Nichols, scales are mammoth, liners and backbar are mild steel, and the bolsters are deep etched wrought iron.I am really pleased with this one, and think it is one of the more elegant friction folders I have made recently.

Next is a wharncliffe belt knife. The blade is random damascus with forge texture, and really has unbelievable shimmer,5" in length, with an OAL of 9 1/2". This is a frame handle, with a wrought iron fileworked frame, nice crakle mammoth scales with hints of green, black liners, copper pins, patterned copper band and rawhide wraps.Both also feature sheaths by me. Thanks for looking, and thanks for the great pics Chuck!
