Just finished this one up today for a Friend that teaches Bushcraft in France. The wife says it my best yet.
The blade is Brad Vice's Alabama Damascus with maple burl Handle.
Nice work Jim. Good looking knife design. Brad Vice makes nice damascus. The maple burl makes a pretty handle.
JoeMal,
That's not a surface treatment. That is the steel. It is a layered pattern welded steel. The layers are due to the different etch resistance of the different steels after being etched to reveal the pattern. If you want a damascus slide for a handgun Caspian arms would be happy to oblige.

If this thread seems a little crazy, it's because I merged the two "Another day at the office" threads. I tried to put everything back where it belongs . . . .
I have watched Damascus steel in the making at a knife factory in Jacksonville, Alabama, back in 1989. Very interesting. Hot, loud and lots of tons pounding the lowcarbon and highcarbon steels together. I think that was the type of steel used.
