That's really cool of you to do this! Here is my entry...

I rarely see Cocobolo inlays, so I thought I'd throw this one into the mix.

Classic Cocobolo:

Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow to take pix of my Ivory and Box Elder Classics for your girl to admire.

She's my first. Sebenza that is.

Very kind of you, here's mine...

Regular Reverse Silver Contrast:

Plain 21 (re-finished with fine steel wool, and going to polish it w/ 1000 grit later, so stay tuned):

Ivory Classic:

Box Elder Classic:

How generous of you... I will have to add mine to it.. tried to capture the feeling of fall

Man there are some beautiful knives here. I just felt my odds drop big time. XD

Ok -- here's my Plain 21 again (posted above with only a fine steel wool re-finish).
But now I have finished the "antiqueing" process with 400-grit, then 800-grit, then 1000-grit Wet-or-Dry sand paper.
I'm very pleased with how it turned out. You can see the original finish on the lockbar for comparison:

I did the same thing to my Mini Skirmish; I'll try to post pix of that one later (in the General Discussion forum, if anyone care's to see my before-and-after pix).
