new and different
Just finished this one up, used a piece of fossil oosik for the handle, this stuff is getting really hard to come up with. But makes a handle with a lot of character, kind of like working with ivory or dense bone. I used a bar of alabama Damascus for the blade. Basket weave stamped sheath,with a wrap around belt piece. Thanks for looking. Terry
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Terry, that might be your best one yet. Wow is that classic. Love the blade and the handle. And the sheath doesn't take 2nd place either.

Very nice!
A beautiful knife in every way! The damascus blade is really nice!
I really like the way you shaped the handle!

That is a beauty for sure!
Oosik makes a great handle and is pretty heavy after it is stabilized. That usually gives the knife good balance.

That's real nice Terry. It has clean, smooth lines. I like the sheath too.
