Liking that slip, my friend!! I can't make the pics bigger, I'd like to get a closer look at those lanyard beads.

Thank you sir. I'm carrying another one today but I'll try to remember the bead pics for you. I'm in the process of making some more.
I had a Lionsteel Opera that I made custom scales out of that material. I bought two slabs of the scale material at Texas Knifemaker Supply. Crushed mammoth bone in resin. Unfortunately, the scales were brittle and once I thinned them down and contoured them to shape, they broke on one side where there was a large chunk of the bone in the resin and it didn't have enough to bond.
Well, that scale material was $65.00 for the set so I didn't want to just chuck it in the trash like a ruined piece of G10. I've been using pieces of it for awhile for different things. One was beads (not very well done but I used what I could of the already contoured broken slab to make them) and one other use so far is the spacers on my Victorinox key chain knife.

Well finished all the things I needed to do today early even though I got a late start due to staying up to late. My weekend has started early :thumbsup:
Starting with a cold beverage :D
This Emerson Tiger has been one of those knives that since I got it a week or so ago I can’t stop carrying it. What a great knife and as the norm with every Emerson I carry it a few days and give it a bunch of couch flicking lol. Then I break it down and put my secret sauce on it and dial it in. Now the blade free falls with a little shake but not a guillotine which I prefer. Smooth like butter and as out of the box the blade is still dead center even after my break down and massaging. Had a Emerson Flag clip I was saving for either my ETAK or Tiger. I love my ETAK but the Tiger got the Head nod. What a wonderful example!

Your Emerson Tiger is an example of perfection at its finest, and your flag clip addition is the coup de grace, what a wonderful example you have, 5 stars!
