Nice shape, lovely pattern and I love big flat grinds. What are you using for scales? Looking forward to seeing this one progress...

I ’m gone put the box elder burl scales you can see on the background with bras liners and bras Corby bolts.

Der der! I was only looking at the knife and didn't even notice the scales in the pic. That'll look a treat dressed in those. Personally I'd go pewter liners as I prefer silver colour to brass but that's just me. Reckon the silver trim would really set off the damascus but brass will do the same thing. Keep us posted on this one!

is the brass a way of offering weight to the handle?..(i assume so with a blade that size)

or purley asthetic ?

No it is not to ad weight to the handle it’s only because I think bras goes very well with the black color of the Damascus blade.

To be continued.

Ok a little update.
The knife is back from Heat treatment and so far i have clean the knife and shape the scales,I decide not to put the bras liners this time because I dint want the knife to be heavy at the handle. now the knife it is ready for a bath in Ferric Chloride.
To be continued.
