I was somewhat stunned that this one was still on the table, after the sale. I mean, maybe I’m delusional, but I don’t think that it is possible to have too many of these incredible shivs.
Being at the end of my rather generous allowance for the show, I wasn’t sure that I should try to squeeze this one in. Marc, being the enabler that he is, had witnessed me going back and repeatedly picking this one up (about 1000 times), and basically said something like go for it. That’s all it took.
Since Matt and I had driven down together, he volunteered to take my stash home and mail it to me, which seemed a bit more safe than flying home with it. But, if you see him selling CPKs, on-line, let me know.

Much to my delight, he used his considerable skills to create a photo of this one. Thank you, Matt!
This one features a horizontal satin finish grind by Mark, and some desert ironwood scales featuring some nice character. Thanks for looking! Mike
