Damascus Frame Handle for Lone Star show

I've just begun venturing into making my own Damascus. This was my second billet, 160 layers of random pattern 1080 and 15n20. I rounded out the knife with polished stainless fittings and some dark giraffe bone on a fileworked frame handle. OAL is 9 1/2" or so. I'll have this knife and several others at the Lone Star Knife Expo March 25/24 in Dallas.





Here's the show flyer, for those who want the info.

Awesome, I'll bet you don't bring it home after the show!

Very nice.

Really nice work on that one.

great work Jason!

Very nice.

very nice, are you hand hammering the Damascus or do you have press/auto hammer? I'm only asking because I played with making my own with hammer and anvil and its a killer... Very nice knife great work.

The billet was forged with an Anyang 25KG and an Uncle Al press, then forged to shape by hand.
