Jerry, C'mere...

How ya like me now?

Excuse me while I put my tongue back in my mouth ;-)

Great looking knife Dogman!!!

Beautiful!!!

Hey ... is that a bolster I see on there? Man ...

Dog, that damascus looks great!

Alex

Actually it looks like a BLUED bolster ;-)!!

Bob, your work just gets better and better.
I really like the way you keep trying something new but still keep that slimline Doggett look to the knives.
So talk us through this one, what are the specs and is this one really for Jerry? If so he's got a great piece on the way.

Roger

Dog, are the bolsters fire blued?
Great looking knife.
Mike

Right on, Bob! That is a real beaut!

We ALL like you now

Thanks for the comments. I am going to have a hard time sending this knife away. Blade steel is 30-twist Damasteel, bolsters are hot blued Ed Caffrey Spiders and Snakes Damascus and some nice MOP. The bolsters and handle material are screwed on like a folder. This was so I could shape and sand the bolsters before they were cooked. The big challenge was fitting screw on handles on a tapered tang, especially since I initially intended to epoxy on a different handle material. That meant I had to redrill and tap everything after the tang had been tapered.

I'm back from the weekend.

Thanks Dog, Yes this ones mine, All Mine, you in the back stop drooling all over it. This is the knife I was talking about in my Anticipation thread in the collecting forum. Bob, your right about the pearl vs wood. The pearl is a knock out. This is just an all around sweet knife.

You are a lucky man Jerry!

Bob...! you never seems to stop impressing me. That is a beauty. How did you heat the bolsters?
