This is my latest creation. It's been a long time in the making, mostly because it's taken a couple of years to get the technique for the Mokume Gane down. The blade is 6-13/16 inches by 1-1/4 inches made from 1 inch O-1 drill rod. The scales are stabilized box elder burl. The mokume frame, guard, & spacers are copper & nickle silver twist, patinated with Baldwin's. I hope the pics come out OK, I haven't had time to get the knife to the photographer yet.
