Just beautiful, i'm drooling, very nice work.

Nice combination of handle materials, Mooser. Very clean finish too.

I've always wondered about amber, though. How is it to work with? Is it brittle enough that it will crack or shatter easily?

this is imitation amber, a resin based product....cuts, drills, sands & polishes very easily, no brittleness, very similar to alternative ivory....

Very nice...like the handle contrast and shape.
