Guess you could call it a Fighting Hunter...  ;)  5 3/8" twist Damascus, twisted wrought guard, Ti/G10 spacers and Blackwood...

 

Thanks for looking

MOST-EXCELLENT Doug!

  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    

That contour on the grip looks to be quite comfortable.

The contrast on the spacers is a *nice* touch!

Keep the wind in your face!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Looks great Doug. Is that twist a w's or a standard flat stack? It's pretty fine layers so a bit hard to tell, looks more like w's to me.
The spacer is real nice. I like how you rounded the edges of the spacer and made it larger than the blackwood. That's a great way to ensure the handle doesn't shrink and expose any sharp edges. Well played   :thumbsup:

Great looking knife. Really like the shape of the handle and the work on the butt cap. The blade is top draw.
