Gentlemen:

The size of this Loveless inspired knife is 90% of the full size model with a 3.5" blade and 7 1/2" OAL.....I designed this to be in the EDC range but with a full width blade and handle. The crocodile pattern mammoth ivory has nice coloration and both sides match equally. Thanks for viewing my work and your comments are welcome.

V/R,

TK

That's a beauty there. Is it nerve wracking to work with handle materials that are so costly, and is it petrified? I've been wondering about that for a while

Greg: Yes, it can be worrisome working with this expensive material. More hand work is required - more safeguards against tear out when drilling. No, it's not petrified.
