Made this one last week.  Turned out pretty nice.

Very nice indeed!  Is the blade Damascus or did you add the pattern?  I really like it.

Sheep horn scales, and Damascus blade.   :)

Mosaic pins also.   :D

1095 carbon steel.  Have to admit I purchased the blade and the scales.  Only took a few hours to complete.  It's sharp as a razor, but still not as nice as the one Eddie gave me a few years back.  (Thanks Eddie!)

Jon:  I would have liked to have had that in my Jump boots back in the day!  Just something about a beautiful knife!  Joe

I have a pocket knife with 1095 blades and I wouldn't trade it. You can achieve a wicked edge with 1095. Good job on that knife, you gotcha something there bud ;)

John, bet it's not as sharp as the one you made and gave me at one in the morning.

Very nice Jon. 

Have you made any scales from that piece of curly osage?

No scales yet, but I sure plan to try it.  That was some nice Osage you passed along to me.
