The first finished knife of 2024 and quite the journey this has been.
I hadn't tried one of these before and for some strange reason, I decided to use pattern welded steel for the blade and also do a pattern welded frame handle construction.

The bluish tinge is a play of the light. The Damascus is black from the 1095. None of the metal has been blued.

Thanks Matt!
