Little dragon

[2finger]

G'day,
Fresh off the bench, this little guy is 8 inches long and has a Takefu sanmai blade with a SG2 core.
The handle scales are Juma ivory substitute with free hand scrimshaw and peened stainless pins.
It was a nice little project to work on.

Very Nice !

How nerve-wracking was it peening those Ivory scales? Beautiful knife.

Thanks mate. It's synthetic and doesn't crack easily, especially with these stainless pins that are far too hard to peen.

Love the dragon. Did you do that yourself?

And I don’t even usually like scrimshaw.

Thanks mate, yes done free hand with a fine needle.

You did an amazing job. Looks way cooler than a duck or moose.

Nice! It'd be a good knife for Tony Marfione

Are you a tattoo artist?
