Damascus / Fossil ivory folder

Just finished this one up. Explosion Damascus blade. Dove-tailed bolsters were made from some of my accordian cuts. Fossil ivory that I picked up last January in San Antonio. Ti liners and back spacer & thumb.

I posted other thoughts elsewhere but have to comment again here.

Perfect colors and matching of materials. I love the overall dark look.

The explosion right by the plunge lines looks like a shining star on top of a Christmas tree bolster when the blade is fully open.

That's very cool.
