While at The Arkansas Show I had told myself that I wasn't going to buy any ivory but saw this piece of walrus and soon changed my mind. I wanted to do something a little different with the ivory handle so I decided on this type of pommel wrap. I got the idea from some of the 19th century rifle butt caps which wrapped both the top & bottom of the stock.
The steel is a variation off of a "W" that I 4-wayed a couple of times.
I'd appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
Gary
Dang Gary, You blow my mind every time you post one of your knives. Very nice!
Thanks, Jared. I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad that you liked it.

Gary, always love your renditions of timeless classics! Great knife! What kind of damascus did you make there? I want to make some like that! Inspired minds want to know!

Hi Tony,
The steel was a 20 x 8 "W' pattern that I forged on the bias with my squaring dies. When I four-wayed it, I added one piece of 1084 sandwiched by two pieces of 15N20 between each of the four pieces.
Glad that you liked it.
Gary
