This is a recent aqcuisition,Been trying to take some better pics than I normally do,hope these are ok.
This has a 6 inch blade of 3-bar damascus,handle is ivory,ironwood,narwhal tusk(unicorn )and a little more ironwood.overall it's 11.5 inches.I'm a huge fan of his work,and would love to add some of his more ornately carved pieces to my collection.

Those are great looking knives. I'm a fan of Roger's work also, it was a ball sitting back to back with him and Anders at the Chicago show last year. Thanks for showing them.

He does stunning work. The steel is spectacular.:thumbup:

Some great looking knives. I prefer narwhal tusk when it is left with the spiral ridges, but it looks good this way as well.

Great looking knives as can be expected from Roger. I too am a great fan of his work and I have two of his pieces.

Here are some pics of them. The first one is a commission. All the work is done by Roger, only the carved handle is done by his son Isaac.The second one is also presented in David Darom's book on page 75. It has a lot of carving and narwhal slabs. I was fortunate enough to scoop it up before someone else did.
