Yep - that's what I'll call it - a Fancy Camp Knife.    :goldtooth:  

Some San Mai with Damascus fittings and Koa gripper:








When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.
Chief Joseph

Oh man, that thing is beautiful.  Amazing work.  Love your knives, great sense of aesthetic.

There's lot of pretty lines to look at on that knife. Really fine work Karl.    :campfire:

Awesome.  Koa is one of my favorite woods that I have used and your san mai is always awesome.  By the way, you seem to have inadvertently misspelled camp knife on the pictures.  Wouldn't want you to post on a bunch of different sites before you realize it and get embarrassed.    ;)

I might get in a "Fight" in camp?

To tell you the truth, I like to make San Mai after San Mai after San Mai just to look at the transition zones.

I'm with you on that.  It's great stuff

You're getting me in trouble, Karl. I'm sitting here looking at your knife with that 'lustful' look in my eyes and my wife thinks I'm looking at the Victorias Secret web site! And at my age, I'd rather hold the knife!!

Is that a take down?
Yes, it is, Mr. Rhea. And I don't believe I don't have a picture of it, but it has a finial cover like this with a piece of Mammoth Ivory and it's threaded into the finial:
