UntitledCool pic! Stag looks good too!These knives are great. Got mine today. Worked the edge just a bit.Opens and closes soooo smooth.
Might be a new favorite.
Excellent!
The Ebony looks great! Nice job!
Ebony. My favorite so far of the ones i have done!
Sorry for the bad photos. Its hard for me to capture the wood with my cellphone
Wenge, padauk, purple heart
Here are my practice covers. The ebony is near perfect and i like the look of them best so they are staying on mine. If anyone wants a set of these your welcome to them. Trust me... they are not perfect as they were done quickly for practice but can possibly be tweaked for a nicer fit and finish. Just say what set you would like and PM me your info
Purple heart on the knife
@untytled, You win best of wood! Really nice grain. I think that one might have been the stock photo.
B blademan 13 Jamie, awesome stag there. Well done!

Wow. I have a feeling Nick will be getting a lot of emails!Mine took a bit longer because it had a short stopover with Nick from Birdvis Knives to get dressed up in Kevlar!
I'm really impressed with the fit and finish on this one and the Kevlar makes it really awesome!

Beautiful! I'm tempted to grab an abalone to add to my set...
I recently returned from a trip to discover the pair I had ordered (1 CF, 1 wood). The knife itself is wonderful and went immediately into my pocket. the CF looks nice although mine has a pretty obvious chip where it meets the bolster that was missed in QC. Here it is with one of Mike's "Other" Barlows, the equally excellent 77 Jack in Ebony (or was it blackwood). I'm looking forward to putting this one to use.
I would hope so! He really did a teriffic job and I got the the first picture from him only hours after the knife was delivered to him.

That looks great! It could probably meet up a bit more flush with the bolster, but what an awesome handle material!
Can someone let me know how to get in touch with Nick?

It is actually the bolster that is chamfered. The scale would never sit totally flush against it. I think it's a nice touch that highlights the bolster more. Other people may disagree but it somehow fits well with the rounded spring and rounded liners. It distinguishes it from the usual GEC knife style.
Huge thanks to Ramrodmb on this, got mine today and it looks amazing. Pictures don't do the depth of the colours in the horn justice!
