Alain,

This is a very nice job, but I would really like to see you do this pattern, with that blade:

I would also like to see this pattern done by John Young, S.R. Johnson, Steve Gaston, Charles Vestal, W.C. Johnson, and a few others.

Best Regards,

STeven Garsson

Wow, that is amazing!!!

Alain, your work is always so immaculate. A great looking knife, but I must say that I also like the handle shape on the one shown by Steven.

 

[DESO]

Yes, Steven show us a great knife, I like the small blade must near 3/4 inches
wide blade, and small sculped handle

Using the bark ivory is very nice, but the do not want to sculp the handle,
if you wan ttoshow all the colors.

Alain, the handle ivory is very nice.

Loveless does these daggers in 3 sizes, I think, the largest has about a 6" blade length and is about 1" wide, IRC, but Mr. Ellis will correct me if I am mistaken.

Best Regards,

Looking good Alain! That dagger/dirk pattern is one of my favorites and the bark ivory handle is fantastic.

I would also like to see this pattern done by John Young

Here's a couple examples with equally amazing ivory from Young.
