Pete, those are two great knives, very well photographed. Being a Canadian bali lover sucks.:grumpy:

Thanks Keith, and yeah...I can certainly relate to your frustration about the problems related to certain styles of knives in your Country.. :( ~~> I lived in Sarnia for a while.., so I know the scoop.

My photography is improving, not really up to "Gallery" standards, but thanks for taking a peek.. :)

Ghetto.., you're right.., that phrasing (by me), was misleading. Chris is not doing Ti-Handles at all currently.., but as Tony mentioned.., he is researching many handle designs/materials.., etc. He is versatile, has a deep-seated love for this style knife, and does have plans to do "Sandwich Style" handles in the future, which of course may include titanium in the not-so-distant future.

We'll certainly keep you posted on it, and I talk to Chris quite a bit (as well as Tony, Dudley, Duane, and many of the "Bali-Crew"). Give him a call sometime. Really nice guy.., and has some very nice Jody-Songs of his own.. :) I expect we'll see some very innovative stuff from "Mr. O".., so don't get depressed about the lack of variated handle material from "29" yet... :)
 
As for the sheath... I'm sure Gary's not known for godzilla themes, but with a simple V embossing tool, you can imply scales. Just set each row so the V's are exactly in between the Vs in the row above...
Throw in some green leather dye, and... voila! Better yet is to have the points of the upper row fall just between the top parts of the Vs below, to make it look like an overlap, rather than just a row of Vs. Takes time, I'm sure, but hey... why not?

Do'h! Thanks for the info... I'll just have to keep drooling, dreaming, and praying Mr. O starts working in Ti.
