[Daniel Koster]

Wowza!!!



Have a look:

I'm glad this turned out ok...it was, um...rather painful to create!!!



And NO...I won't do another like it.

Wow, that looks really classy! Painful?

 

[Daniel Koster]

tapering the tang complicates the whole process...

And keeping the ivory micarta clean...is best left for surgeons....



But it feels and looks great!

This one is now available.

Let me get a picture with a kydex sheath...will post in the knives-for-sale area.

I don't believe I've ever seen Ivory Micarta. Maybe that's why...
It does look stunning though. It's kinda the "gentleman's K-Tusk".

 

[Daniel Koster]

Yep...looks great with leather:

Tapered tang looks great! Do you have to taper the backs of the micarta pieces so they match the tang taper?

Do you have to keep the ivory micarta pristene through the process, or can you clean it thoroughly once everything is done?

Very nice!

I use a jig Tom Krein designed:

And yes, the ivory stuff is torture keeping it clean during the process!
