they are bookmatched from Individual blocks. The scales were 1 block cut into two. Frustratingly sometimes one side does not match the other from the same piece of wood...

Wow, I sure did guess wrong! That's what I get for presuming.

Just to make sure we're on the same page, by book matched you mean splitting the block and the insides become the outsides, right?

This is 100% the method I employ. But to Nathan's point - it often comes to naught. The closest matching grain is machined away. This is especially true with Ironwood which has a particularly unsportsmanlike grain pattern.

However, even with machining away, I find it's the bast chance to get matching pattern. In the FK scales below, the strong ripple pattern on the scale on the left nearly disappeared by the time it got to the outside of the block. Splitting and inverting kept it pretty well matched side to side.

Sending these two with my boss on an elk hunt, hopefully he remembers to take pics

I may have shown this some time ago, but really like the image - though the knife now resides elsewhere....

Pretty darn cool, Bob. Did you take that creature in the secret, hidden caves of “The Rock”? Mike

A couple of those passed through my grubby hands! I'm not naming names though as a Gent will never kiss and tell. What that adage has to do with me, beats me!

Whats the one above the EDC?
Is that the field knife?

Yes. It's the FK.

Some new OD kydex for the FK! Field and town carry.

Wouldn't mind a sleeker sheath for my FK. Curious who made that taco.

Purchased both from Azwelke as I missed out on the run from Mashed Cat

I have one of his for a knife that I've never used and has been tucked away for a few years. The attention to detail looked familiar but couldn't put my finger on who the craftsman was.

Appreciate the response.
