** Before anyone gets upset with me I've gotten complaints that the photos I put up have not been LARGE enough. I put them in smaller and with a 72 pixel count so they would load faster and out of consideration for others in not wanting to take up alot of room.

Should this one be considered TOO large by the powers that be Please contact me and I will downsize and reload. Thankyou - Carol T.

You made a really nice INTEGRAL knife and put in polyester materials for the scales?

Any particular reason? It is my opinion that material is nice for bowling balls, and perhaps pool balls, but not for handmade knives.

It was a real killer but that's what the customer wanted. Actually up close and personal it didn't look as bad as you might think, in truth it was quite a looker.

If it were mine, I would have used something else but.............

And it's alot of work to do a handle with poly pearl. Almost MORE work than a natural product because you have to continually go back and fill in the air bubbles in the material and rework. When it's done it is silky smooth and almost glass like and reasonably durable. :)
