Thanks, guys!
The Alaskan Jade is super-tough, and has a reputation of being the toughest (most resistant to breakage) of any stone. It is much different than jade from Wyoming or British Colombia. The green is deep and rich, with a bit of translucency, kind of like dark green ice...

Great job as always, the inlay and handle made a very nice combo together
