On the Stoned Ivory thread in post 91 Coop said the following, in Da Vinci Code style:
Rob, by the way... I have ONE word for you: CLACK!!
You know what I am talking about. (NEXT thread for Rob.)
Coop
He had this knife from Don and was about to send it to me.
A little while back Don let me know my requested "folder spot" was here and asked what I had in mind.
Something different, serious but fancy. Cool shape and dimension in the blade, Mammoth, a hunk of blade showing off even when the knife is closed. That was my request. We talked through ideas then, as usual, I do my best to leave him alone to create in his unique style. I must admit I always throw in a late zinger of an idea no matter how hard I try to control myself.
By the way, when I said Mammoth I meant Ivory. I think he heard size as well as handle material!
Well, Don started referring to the knife as Giant Folder. Then Coop sends a teaser with "CLACK". I get it guys, I have knives that make the "bank vault" lock up sound and I have big folders. NOT! This thing is a beast. And there's a reason Coop used all caps when writing "CLACK".
I'll post pics of this knife that demonstrate it's scale this evening. For now, I'll just say...It's big and it's serious.
Here are Coop's great shots. Wonderful results with the details captured. Ivory of the Gods, hunks o' carved gold, bombastic mosaic, carved bolsters to the front and the rear, spine inlays (inside and out) from the sea.
Don, thank you so very much!!! This was a fun endeavor with a fantastic outcome. Another outstanding Hanson in our collection that my wife and I love!
