Mammoth Ivory on a small fileworked fixed blade

[J. Doyle]

Here's one I just finished for a collector. A small gents knife. It's a variation of my award knife from last year in Boise.

1080+ steel
6 3/4" overall, 2 3/4" actual cutting edge
mammoth ivory scales
24k gold plated screws
twisted rope filework along entire spine and butt end

Elegance is in the simplicity of choosing the right materials, and g*d d*mn, you got this one right! Only 6 pieces to that knife and it is styled just beautifully! Outstanding job, sir.

Thanks for the comments guys. I appreciate it. I hand sanded the blade to 800 grit. Then I did three etch in FeCl/neutralize steps. After the third etch, I scrubbed the black oxides off with comet. then gave the blade a really light, quick rub with flitz. That's it.
