Nice looking damascus Clint but I can't decide which handle material I like best...the stag or the masking tape....:biggrin:

I was going to say something about the way the lovely blue scales went with the blade pattern; man am I glad it was early and my brain wasn't fully awake. The stag will be nice:happy:

That is looking very good. Nice pattern to the steel.
