Damascus Integral

[Don Hanson]

Hi folks, I finished this one a while back for a good friend. Blade is 11.5" and is 17" over all.

Paul Long dressed her up nice and Coop shows her off well.

Let me know what ya think and thanks for looking.

Great execution, beautiful popcorn stag, outstanding damascus and a sleek, and gorgeous sheath :eek: Then that :cool: little sunshine figure buttcap to finish it up. Great package.

Thanks Gents!

Kevin, the steel is made of 1084, 15N20, W2 and 203E. Not sure how mant layers but it's kind of a W pattern, with a different twist...

As I said on the other forum this seems real innovative to me. Maybe its just the butt cap, or even the logo being places differently. :) Whatever it is, I love it and its different, but classic.

Don, That knife is stunning!. Integrals have always intrigued me as a maker but I have never acted upon it. That stag is top shelf and I think the decorative sun on the back is my favorite! Great job.
Thank you for the kind words about my piece but looking around in this forum reminds me that I'm in rare air in here! Take care. Brad
