Hey kerryd. Do you have a better picture of the knife? I have one on order from him with a estimated delivery date in June. I would like to see the one you got.

these pics aren't great either - its my first attempt at posting pics. I'm thrilled with the knife. I found the handle while woodworking, met Parks at the blade show and after 6 mo. wait, its here! Already used it on a whitetail, so the stains are "honest". very well balanced, with copper spacers (my idea).om/albums/f77/amboyna/162a9399.jpg[/IMG]
 
That looks to be a lovely knife - I really like what I have seen of this maker's work. Nothing wrong with the pics that moving the camera a LOT closer to the knife won't solve. ;)

Looks good kerryd. Amboyna burl, eh? I may have to rethink my handle choice. Gets me antsy but it will 5 or 6 more months before mine is due.
 
What is your current handle choice?

FYI I turned that handle from a block of amboyna that included burled Sapwood. I thought it made for contrast vs. the classic heart wood. I haven't seen Parks use spacers in these locations, he was following what we sketched at the blade show.
Thanks for the compliments. It will be worth all the waiting, I promise that.
