I enjoyed a nice file work free weekend, I love this wood I plan on using a lot of it. It is very hard, looks good and works well, so win win right.

8 1/2" total length
3 3/4 inch blade with 3 1/4" cutting edge, 5/32" stock thickness Alabama Damascus
handle is stabilized spalted Tamarind, I'm really liking this wood.

That looks awesome. I have some pieces of Black Walnut and need to start making knifes again.

Looks good! The wook is very nice and I don't blame you for wanting to use more like it.

REally?... hard to beleive. Great looking blade.


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
