Default Bold W pattern Damascus / engraved guard

Hi all

I thought I would share a knife that I just finished. It is a 9 1/2" blade (14 1/2" overall) of 1084 and 15N20 in a tile welded bold W pattern with a long nearly sharp clip. The fittings are stainless steel and a blackwood handle. The guard is relief engraved with the main scroll lines inlayed with 24K gold wire.

Thanks for looking

Brian

Wow, that pattern is BOLD!! I mean really dramatic. You pull off come pretty amazing stuff, Brian, when you put your thinkin' cap on - which is on most of the time.
Yep - Mr. Engraver.

The bold pattern of the steel & the plain black handle go together very nicely. WELL DONE!

The engraved guard looks good with the bold pattern, IMO.
Nice work.
