Goodlooking knife !
Perfect matchup between the blade and that walnut.

That is too nice for a southern boy, better send it up north.  B Dan    PS  Jon do you remember what color feathers you wanted on those shafts. 1 black and 2 red or was it 2 black and 1 red.   Also next time you see Art, ask him if the arrows he shot of mine were OK for length.   Thanks

Josh; Damascus steel is made by hammering and folding the steel on top of itself hundreds of times. What you see is the different layers after you grind it.

Nice looking knife.  You are correct in that the walnut looks great with the balde.
