Damascus Boning Knife

I completed this boning knife in early January.  The damascus is 27 layer 1095C and 15n20, lightly twisted.  I forged the blade the shape mostly, although I ended up modifying the tip a bit on the grinder for practicality - in its original state it was too up-swept.  The knife is a full tang construction using the 'shark fin' grip style that I designed for the twin hunters I made last year.  The 'fin' on the top is a very nice spot for your thumb and gives great control over the blade as well as a comfortable grip.  The handle slabs are cocobolo with two large pins, completely epoxied to the steel.
