these knives just keep getting nicer and nicer... beautiful work on the gemstone handle. i especially like the touch of adding a piece of handle stone into the display stand.

Hi, Adam. Hi, Keith.
Thanks guys!

Adam, I wanted to include a freeform gem carving of this beautiful stone so that it could be handled and examined. So often, in jewelry, gemstones are small and delicate, and I wanted to show off a big chunk of this finished rock.
