Another Damascus blade I purchased last summer at the knife show.  Leather Sheath by Kenny Rowe, of Hope, Arkansas.   Scales are "Devils Toenail", I am sure it has another name.  This is for my oldest son.

I'm sure your oldest son is going to love it and cherish it throughout his life.  I can see your love of craftsmanship not only in your own work but the parts you bought from other craftsmen.  I love the creative arts but great craftsmanship is rare and it is pleasure to see, thanks.
