Call Richard at 618-580-9631 if you have any questions/comments. I've been gone so long, I somehow forgot how awesome knives were. Damn divorce...
Wow...it's been awhile since I've been on here. I let my dealer membership expire, so I guess I'm posting trades until I buy a new membership. I actually just finished this knife today. It's been "in the works" for at least three months now (I have a lot of half-finished knives because I get bored/lazy, lol).
I've owned just about every knife out there, so feel free to shoot me whatever trades you have. I'd rather just sell it on Ebay, but those jerks banned mammoth tooth.
*The handle is 10,000+ yr. old mammoth tooth. It is a very difficult material to work with because it is so brittle. Placing the abalone dots was a delicate procedure. The cracks that you see in it are natural. I could have filled them with a thin layer of epoxy and buff off the excess, but I personally like the rugged "caveman" look, lol.
*The blade is made of Snake River Damascus. It looks extremely wicked. One side looks like a large napped arrowhead that has been battle-beaten. The other side shows the damascus and the sweet-looking hollow-ground divots I made.
*Come with free locking box!
*The blade is 4.75" and the whole knife is 8.75" overall.
*The bolster is actually a piece of mosaic damascus; however, it is hard to tell, especially from the photos. I may buff it back to steel color and use a different acid to bring out the details.
*The white on the bolster and pommel is Pearl.
*The green stuff on the very end of the pommel is abalone that was stacked like a pyramid and then shaved down.
*The thicker spacers are leather, and the thin spacers are just some type of polymer spacers.
