O1 small criollo, synthetic ivory handle

[Miguel Pennacchioni]

Hello, this one is a small criollo I finished some time ago.
By it's size and place where it's carried, in Argentina we call it "verijero".
Blade material: O1 steel
Blade lenght: 4.7"
Handle material: synthetic ivory
Sheath material: row cow leather stitched with horse leather.

Hope you like it.
Miguel

Very nice Miguel.

Some silver pins would look nice on the handle

 

[xaman]

yeah, that's an elegant little knife -- very nice!

That looks great. The sheath is very nice as well. What exactly is synthetic ivory? How durable is it compared to say micarta?

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Nicely done.

 

[spyken]

Thank you guys!
This synthetic ivory was a gift so I don't know much about it, I can tell you that is soft, nice to work with, similar for that matter to pertinax o bone, it takes a good shine and you can do scrimshaw in it.
Spyken, I'm still not registred as a maker in this forum so it won't be proper for me to speak of prices here, hope you understand.
