This blade is an approx. 5 inches long of a Dog Star pattern Damascus and has an ancient Fossil Walrus ivory handle with deep relief engraving and a touch of gold. Kinda like my wife, looks pretty but works really well.

FWIW, I like that a lot!

Good stuff!

Perhaps I should be committed for asking, "is it committed"

Best,

GWB

GW, thanks for asking but yes, it is a delivery.
You just never know about the ancient ivories, as to where it will hold colors or run out of them. I liked this one, it did really close to the same on both sides.
I mortise most all of my handles then soak them in mineral oil twice a year.

Very nice!

Breath-takingly beautiful knife. The Damascus is great, the engraving is classic beauty and the scales are wonderful.

That Damascus pattern is amazing.
