LOL that was a good one. It is basically bone and it has been stabilized it holds up
very well . This was the last set I had might get some more later on.
 
I am a sucker for good looking folders, and that is a VERY nice one. Congrats, good looking photos too.

Great folder! Really love the armadillo scales!:thumbup: Do you know what thickness the armadillo scales are available in? If thick enough I would like to use on a fixed blade.
Thank for sharing,

I recieved this knife today. I don't know where to start. This is the nicest knife I've ever owned! The workmanship and quality is unbeliveable. The armadillo is over the top. I asked Glenn a while back for just a little pocket knife and this is what I got. Just too much! I didn't expect something like this. This will be handed down to my youngest son and is now a family treasure. Glenn, thank you! You are truely a great friend and we haven't even met.:D:D:D
 
After seeing the damage an armadillo can do to a St. Augustine lawn one too many times, I decided that the only good armadillo was a dead one-- preferably stuffed and holding a Lone Star Beer bottle-- so I declared war on the little SOBs in my neighborhood. I'm talking urban bow hunting at it's best, don't ya know.

Now I see another good use for armadillo. I might have to dust off the bow and see if I can draw down on the one that was living under my A/C unit this summer.

"Here little armadillo, here little armadillo!" :D

Oh yeah, very nice knife.
 
That is nice, love the bird and trout. I wouldn't have figgured armadilo would make good handle material, but danged if that ain't cool.:thumbup:
