4 Blade Congress

[Ruple Knives]

Hey All
Here is a 4 blade congress pattern I made a few weeks ago. Just got the photo back from Chuck Ward. The knife has antique tortoise scales and gold pins and bar shield. I entered this knife in the competition at the Texas Knife Show in Roundrock, It won best of show. Let me know what ya`ll think.

That's a beauty. I really admire your work.

Wow - that's a beauty. Such crisp lines, and my all time favorite handle material to boot. :thumbup:

 

[Durwood]

I think three things. 1) I wish the picture was bigger. 2) I'm glad it's not acrylic. 3) From what I can see it looks great:thumbup:

There was a knife show in Round Rock, TX?! I live in Cedar Park adjacent to RR. I wish I had known. I would have loved to have seen your excellent knives in person! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for one again.
