No, it's stacked bark. Bark is/was a traditional handle material in Finland. Warm, comfortable and non-slip even when wet.

One-off from Tom Mayo.

This one finally showed up today after a long journey from Australia and being delayed due to the snow storms in NYC. Once in hand, I can tell I will definitely be using this sucker!

Made by Will Morrison from O1 steel and ringed Gidgee. The sheath was made by Paul Long. Comes in at 9.25” OAL.

Made by a young man about an hour south on here. ATS34 which is still a wonder steel in my mind.

ATS34 which is still a wonder steel in my mind.

Honestly, I have a bunch of knives in ATS-34 and I can say that they hold an edge and cut just as good as other knives in CPM-154 and beyond. I have a hunter from Rick Menefee that I used to field dress, bone out, trim, and everything in between on a few deer. By the end it seemed like it was slowing down, but it still shaved hair. All it needed was a good cleaning, the fatty residue stuck to the blade was what was slowing it down.

That looks like a fine knife!

You're building quite the nice collection of fixed blades - I am enjoying all of the photos.

This one by MS Adam DesRosiers is forged down to around 1/16th at the plunge.

Its hard to explain how fine the geometry is and i wish I had a photo of the spine on this computer.



This one by Adam is the total opposite, slightly over 1/4'' at the plunge with a strong distal taper..

It's an Alaskanized version of an Argentine Gaucho.



This one by MS Ed Caffrey feels so great in the hand I just had to scoop it for the $ he was asking.

ISKski , I’m getting there! You have been giving me a lot to look forward to with knives I’d like to get haha. Lots of patterns and makers are on my radar.
