thx Jan,

 i checked those links. Johan has some amazing stuff. his finished knives were totally out of reach. i chose a tanto folder with buffalo handle just tpo price check and it was over 3,000$ wow; and what i chose was a fairly simple design etc.

Not sure is it is the same folks but there is a company out there named Vallotton Custom Knives that use variations of this.  Colored damascus is also made by

this is not my knife. i posted it because it was so radical & beautiful at the same time. the maker is on bladeforums.com , but i am finding it hard to locate his thread that this was in. i can't recall his name & my recall sucks. i'll find him eventiually because he deserves credit for this as well as many of his other blade/knife styles. when i find it i'l post the link and u folks will agree with me i'm sure.
