Jay thats is one sweet piece of work. The jade and the combination of ray skin and leather.. don't think I seen it done before. Have you thought of it in a Persian style blade as well... think it would be just as wicked.

Well done mate:thumbup:

there's something about the choil area on this knife that really floats my boat, and to be honest it is an area I sometimes find troublesome on some of the knives I've seen.
Nice knife!

VERY creative Jay. Especially the sheath. Your knives always display a wide range of skills.

Pleasure seeing it,
