2.5" Scandinavian style with coral

[Albert E]

This is a small scandi style with a 2 1/2" Robert Mattsson explosion damascus blade, 6 3/4" OAL,red fiber bolster,and coral treated with graphite/CA,axis stag to the white and wood handle.It is a bit of an experiment using this common white coral.
Thanks for looking!!
Merry Christmass and New Year 2009!!

[Albert E]

Thank you Keith!!Glad you like it!!Actually I had collected just a few pieces of common coral on the beach in Miami last year,and thought it might be useable!!I tested a few filles,including india ink of different colours,including gold,and graphite powder and siena powder!!Finally used graphite and CA(Zap a Gap!! This knife was the final test!!
Here some pictures of the test slab!!

Regards!!Happy new Year!!

[Albert E]

Thank you Hillbillenigma,and Dusty One!!I am very happy you like my work!!I sometimes look into uncommon materials and techniques!! This one is related to a histology technique used to see bone structure in microscope slides!!(At least the idea!!)
Best wishes for the coming 2009!!
