    The pics on Rab's website are awesome. Congrats.

    I would love to hear some details about them and maybe some pics when you get them.

    That's the handles just about finished.
    I've got some bars of Damascus steel on their way which I'll be using for the blades for this pair, so will probably be at least a week until they're ready.

    Nice looking handles indeed. An artisan at work, and it shows.

    Beautiful!

    Looks like if one ever had to actully use it would be just as effective to thunk the adversary over the head with the handle as it would be to poke them with the blade. :grin:
