Ball-bearing, Gut-hook Hunter

[J. Neilson]

Here's another version of my ball-bearing damascus...

... This wide blade is about 7" long and I did my standard BB damascus canister (1/4" 52100 ball bearings and 1084 powder) then twisted and folded the steel. The guard and pommel are also BB damascus with nickle damascus spacers behind the guard, red fuller and stabilized/grey dyed Maple Burl.

Thanks guys. Me and a bud started playing with this BB idea a few years ago ... It never worked out the way we planned but, it's amazing what can happen when you keep tweeking an idea.
