The damascus is his half twist or "river jump" pattern that flows in continuous pattern around the blade. The fit and finish is absolute perfection with rounded spine and choil. The bevels are hand finished on a progression of natural stones and show beautiful contrast between the steels. The handle is a very unique shape made from enju with buffalo horn ferrule and end cap.
