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
Starting with a cold beverage
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!

My EDC for what turned out to be a wild, woolly call weekend
The Manix did all the work while my fancy rag and little "Wasabi" knife kept me company
The rag is actually useful for making a barrier in my pocket to protect things from my toxic HVAC sweat
