Here's one I finished a while back for a really good guy/collector. I couldn't do this one any photo justice so I had to send it for pro photos.

9 1/4" overall, 4 3/8" blade, .195 thick at the ricasso
Full distal taper
'Twisted Steel' fileworked spine
Rounded ricasso edge
Fluted damascus fittings
Heat colored and coined titanium spacer
Stabilized premium Curly Koa handle
Damascus bolt cover
Thank you for the great photo work Coop! Your work never disappoints.
All comments and discussion welcome.
And some details:
That's beautiful John. I really like the guard treatment and that's some killer Koa. Finished impeccably, as usual. Thanks for sharing.
