I enjoyed a nice file work free weekend, I love this wood I plan on using a lot of it. It is very hard, looks good and works well, so win win right. 8 1/2" total length 3 3/4 inch blade with 3 1/4" cutting edge, 5/32" stock thickness Alabama Damascus handle is stabilized spalted Tamarind, I'm really liking this wood.

That looks awesome. I have some pieces of Black Walnut and need to start making knifes again.

Looks good! The wook is very nice and I don't blame you for wanting to use more like it.
