Deja vu!!!! You again snagged another beauty while I was out toiling in the yard!!!! Only difference, this time, was the fact that the temp was only in the upper 50s, instead of the 80s!!!! Very nice acquisition Steven! Those scales look very much like the crosscut on one of mine ... so I know you are going to love it even more when you get it in hand!!! Great work Alan .... however, I think I am going to have to post my outdoor work schedule in advance!!!!!!!!
 
Absolutely stunning. The subtle thumb ramp is one of my favorite features. Let's be honest though, having a knife made from a freaking space rock is just way cool.

Yeah, the one and only advantage of being an office dweller. I have wanted one of Alan's crosscut ivory knives. Add the coolness of space rock and the strange fact that after almost 30 minutes it was still here, made it easy to push the button.

This was the closest I saw to it so I'll say it - These makers are literally out of this world with the customs they're making. Looks like meteorites might be the next mammoths?

Excellent work Alan.
