Stag/Damascus Bowie-lookin' 'thing'

[Karl B. Andersen]

Here's a little thing I've kept myself busy with.
378 layers of 1084/15N20.
Damascus fittings made from some W2 and 203E.
Sambar Stag handle with mild steel Take-down finial.
Finial and fittings were hot blued for contrast.
Fun stuff.

Superb work as always, Karl! I love take downs, and the furniture on this knife is tremendous. Great job on the butt cap and finial!

I think the contrast of the bluing really sets off the damascus nicely. Awesome knife. I always enjoy the photos of your work.
