thanks guys. I just sent the pix to the customer and told him he might just have to fight me for this one lol
 
That's a timeless beauty right there! I have to confess as a newb to knife making, its easy for me to get enamored with elaborate design and intricate detail ... but a simple classic style well executed as you have done just always stands out. Beautiful! If you don't mind me asking, is that a design you've done before in other steels?

Thanks for such kind words. This is only my 6th knife to date and as of yet I have not repeted a design. My next one ( also Damascus) is fairly close to one I've done but slightly different.
 
yeah I'm seriously thinking of making another one for myself for meat cutting after hunting season.
