First knife of 2025! Also my 1st damascus keyhole and 1st integral guard keyhole. This represents a huge knifemaking milestone for me, I've been dreaming of doing this for years.

The initial steel billet was 261 layers of 15n20 +1084 , the timber is ringed gidgee. I've had a go at heirlooming the fit up and it has a domed 416 pin.

The blade is 185mm x 30mm with a 7mm spine. 315mm overall length, overall weight is 290g.
