Now that's a man's knife.  A knife for somebody who knows knives.  A looker AND a user.  Outstanding!

Great looking knife Slasher. I'm not familiar with dall deweese, is he the maker of the Damascus or did you make it?

dall was a colarado big game hunter who often hunted with theodore roosevelt.  he designed this style of knife in the early 1900's.  marbles knife co. made them until the mid 30's or so.

Chris, nice blade. I like that style blade for my knives too. Although my efforts to date are much cruder than that damascus blade.
