OP Dan308 Campfire Regular D Joined: Jun 2013 Posts: 525 New Mexico	This hunter style knife has a cool piece of elk antler on it with blue liners and a mosaic pin. The blade is an old Nicholson file that I etched in copper + ferric chloride. It brought out a cool natural hammon in the blade. OAL is 8 1/8 with a 4 1/4 inch blade. Pretty nice one I think "The unknowing leading the unwilling to do the unnecessary" www.dtknives.com

But 4 stints about 1 inch long each and I'm back to normal. Tons of meds and diabetic now too. Oh well..... Here's one that I just finished. 416 layer Damascus hunter style with brass, blue and turquoise spacers. The OAL is 9 7/8 with a 5 1/4 blade. Sheath will be leather of course "The unknowing leading the unwilling to do the unnecessary" www.dtknives.com

The most beautiful knife work I've seen, ever. You are a true artist. W. Bill I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Titanium frame with Elk antler scales and buffalo bolsters. The pivot screws are Ti also. The blade runs on bearings sandwiched between stainless washers.
