thought I would share this with you. It has been named the puzzle knife.

The name has been given due to the manner it was constructed..

The first is the manner in which this knife has been constructed.

Shaft

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v479/bruks/puzzleknifemacro007.jpg

The shaft has a front section of Ziracote and is separated from the main body of the shaft by a sandwich false ivory and black phenolic plastic. The main section of the shaft has a top section of African Paduk and a bottom section of Canadian yellow birch.

These two sections are separated by alternating veneers of Paduk and ash which have been steam bent to fit the shaft.

This continues right though the end of the shaft and is perfectly symmetrical all the way through. It is also visable on top.

The dust from the paduk has settled in the open grain of the ash giving a wonderful effect.

Blade

The blade is a 22 x 75 mm Rose Damascus and is very sharp.

The sheath is wet formed from rawhide with a symmetrical raised relief both back and front.

On the contrary, it looks great. The For Sale forums aren't generally the place for comments though. If you post it in the Display Case, you'll get some comments for sure.

As for me, I really like it. I like the contrasting colors in the handle, and the rose damascus looks great. Give this a post in the Display Case, and let's see what others think of it.
