Curse You RED BARON!

well, actually bless you Nemo, for making the knife I was looking for.

Red dyed camel bone w/ black and white spacers. Handmade .925 sterling silver iron cross inlay. Some really nice filework tweaks and mechanically works better by about 30%

Very nice piece, BTB!

I especially like the cross detail!

And the blade

And the cameltoe, er... camel bone

And the filework

Anyone got any make-money-fast scheme for me?

Benny,

Is the blade Damascus or etched stainless?

damascus... a really interesting pattern which is the reason I picked it...
btw... its not finished yet, It goes off to the engraver in about a month for the finishing touches

Benny,

Perhaps it is the way the light was hitting it on the photos, but it looked like etched stainless to me. All the Damascus that I have seen has sort of a grey, as opposed to shiny background.

Jim,
This damascus has been etched very deeply then buffed to a shine...it creates a very cool effect....it takes almost all of the black out of it and just leaves the raised areas to show off the pattern...

What a totally neat idea. That's a classic.
