OAL: 6"
Blade: 3 1/2"
This is the smallest blade I have made so far and wasn't as tough as I thought. I over did it with the Damascus ( over 1,000 layers), but it still had a cool look. The damascus consists of O-1, 1084 and 15N20.
The handle is Desert Ironwood. I could call this one tactical since that is what it will be used for. The purpose for such a thin, small knife is to replace a pocket knife as the owner keeps loosing them out of his pocket. Hope you enjoy.
There seems to be an image flaw on the first picture on the handle which is not present on the actual knife. Other than that the pictures turned out great.
Beautiful little blade. I like!!

Thank you sir.
Yep. That's a nice little knife there Chad. I have said this before, (maybe to you or maybe someone else, I cannot remember) I like it when the pattern shows around the edge of the handle on full tangs. It really bugs me when the maker has to regrind the profile and obliterates the pattern on the spine and belly. Good job!

Thanks Joshua. You have said that to me. The frustrating thing about it is, only another bladesmith really appreciates that you take the time. So thanks for saying something.
