I don’t often use pattern welded steel but I thought it would look good with this knife pattern, which resembles some knives you see called “bird and trout”. I have no idea why they call them that, but that's beside the point. I chose some unique wood for the handles that I felt would add beauty without distracting too much from the Damascus or overwhelming the whole design with too much visual texture. It’s called mai puay phut, and it’s a very rare relative of the common crepe myrtle from Laos. It has wonderful depth and shimmer in the grain, and a unique color that I like. This knife is already sold. OAL: 8 inches | Blade: 3.5 inches As usual, if you want to get the opportunity to get one of my knives, the only way to do that is to get on the mailing list. All you have to do is go to my website and enter it in. Thanks for lookin.'

That knife is absolutely perfect for skinning and caping deer. Wish I could get a custom like that.
