Damascus scandi

This is a scandi style I just finished,I am now working on the sheath which is made of stag ........??!! The knife has a swedish blade by Mattias Styrefors,the hadle is axis deer stag(from my ranch)maple burl,black palm.The silverware is made with silver rings I bought at the jeweler's,made them oval shape,silver soldered a silver round for the bolster.I hope you like it!!The pommel has a mirror image piece of burl(this knife was shown also in British Blades Forum)Regards
Alberto

Very Nicely done. If the sheath comes out half as good as the knife you will have a real work of art there.

What a beauty!

I love the inventive idea of using the silver rings as spacers. Worked out great!

You've got real talent...give us more!

Thank you Randy,thank you Dennis! I am glad yo both like it,I have done a couple more scandis before but those had Brusletto blades which are not as nice as this marvelous blade!! I will show the sheath which is almost ready,but I need to go to Montevideo and get a third ring!!!(for the tip).I will put the other older ones also!!
