Here is the latest to my winter Covers.

Hope you enjoy seeing some of Ray's work and Ray Jr's Engraving.

Excellent knive. Beautiful engraving. Love the abalone.

Thank you for your kind comments, I was kinda proud to be able to pick this beauty up. Also, that someone else could see my pictures, been having a little trouble with the free hosting site. BF restricts the size, yes, I know I could resize them, but felt it would be an injustice not to have the engraving popping out as the larger photos show.

Thanks again Keith,
James

I do appreciate the kind words, I feel honored by having it offered to me by a member of the forum. He had seen I had added a few Covers to my collection and said he was thinking of selling this one. He even held it for me until I could rob a bank.

No joke though, I have heard privately that very few are engraved by Ray Jr. Ray Jr now teaches engraving. So I do think it is Rare.

I have seen Ray Jr.'s engraving on knives by other makers. I have seen Ray Sr.'s knives engraved by other engravers. One thing that makes this one special is the fact that it is a father/son effort.
