It is one of four that I have from a maker named Mike Williams. He is an ABS master smith. His blades are forged.
That one he calls the flea hill walnut. It came from a walnut tree that was in his back yard when he moved to his current location. Seems the place was on a hill and infested with fleas.
Here are three more of Mikes knives that are what he calls "leaf pattern" damascus.
The scales are from the tusk of a walrus cow.
Another leaf pattern damscus, with amber dyed stag scales
and the capstone to the trifecta, a "quillon" dagger, leaf pattern damascus blade and forged handle. I made the sheath. I call the combo "kiss of the dragon.
ya!
GWB
I love those knives GWB! Not much makes me smile like a well built blade. Here is on of mine from Mike Conner there in Texas. Stabilized Giraffe scales with CPM154 SS for the blade.
