Just testing - A pic of a custom.

You can ignore this one folks. I'm just practicing placing a pic in a post from a public photo storage website.

This is a knife I designed a while ago and was made for me by a kifemaker in South Australia.

Okay, consider it ignored...BTW, what kind of wood is the handle of that wonderful knife I'm ignoring made from?

 

[gajinoz]

It's mallee root burl from here in Oz.

Absolutely stunning knife. You do know that trying to ignore this knife is like asking a teenage boy to ignore a big boobed, blonde, thong clad swimsuit model strutting by him on a beach, right?

I'm sure I don't know what you mean!


I'm glad you like the knife, it turned out better than I expected. It was meant to be a user but when I got it I liked it so much I can't bring myself to do anything but the lightest tasks with it.

Hmmm, I'm going to take a punt here... Is that one of Barry Gardner's knives ? Its most pretty and has a little D'Holder and Scandi influence... Jason.

Picked like a nose. It is indeed one of Mr. Gardners fine creations. I sent him some pics of the sort of shapes I like and a few other requirements and he came up with that. The wood in the handle is actually a little lighter in colour than it appears in the pic.
