Beautiful work Scott. The snakeskin looks great and that blade design really sings.
 
Thanks for the kind words everyone, I really appreciate it.
 
Top level craftsmanship!! Great pairing, both knife and sheath! Great thought shows in both!

Not usually my style, but this is a VERY nicely done piece!

Wow !
 
Scott,
You might be attributing the influence of this knife to Bill Scagel because of the stacked handle but you shouldn't. What you have created here is a thing of beauty with a sheath that more than just compliments the knife. I have owned a Scagel knife and seen several, God knows they were not things of beauty. On the other hand they were some of the sharpest and well balanced knives I have ever held....PERIOD! Thank you for posting this work of art it is indeed worthy of praise. r.cordell
