Here's a couple I finally got to finish up. I'd like to hear your thoughts. Thanks Ryan Minchew.

Oden's Eye hollow ground damasteel, tapered tang, brown bolsters, gold plated screws, and mammoth ivory. 5.75" long I have two of these nearly identical.

Ryan, you hit BOTH of those out of the park. GREAT job! I especially like the second one. But I especially like the first as well. My brain may explode trying to figure out which I like better.

Ryan,

Those are beauties! I really like the way the brown bolsters and copper liners compliment the handles. Can you tell me where I can get similar screws or nuts, like the ones you have on the bolsters? Thanks.

Beautiful! Maybe some day you can put on that shop demo we talked about so long ago. Once again, Great Work!!:thumbup:
 
Wow those knives are stunning, The pattern on that larger knife is mesmerizing.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Edro I was thinking that exact thing earlier today. I said we'd get in the shop right before I found out we were pregnant. Now my son is 5 months old I'm trying to figure out where all that time went! I'll do some looking on the work calendar see what we can come up with.

Sandy Mcclure does http://www.giraffebone.co.za/web/default.asp and she has the screws. She doesn't have them listed on her website, but I picked some up from her when I went to visit her husband Jerry who is an awesome knifemaker. You might give her a call and ask her. I don't think they will be back from vacation until Monday though.
 
VERY CLASSY!!! Makes me think of a knife that riverboat gambler might have tucked under his vest next to his derringer.
