Here's one that Ray Kirk (M.S.) forged for me from 52100, with Osage Orange .

The knife is great...but the pic is absolutely PERFECT!

What a great tribute to the original illustration.

If you knew how little I paid for those pieces back in the day you wouldn't think I was lording it over the good folks hereabouts. (I know you're just breaking 'em.)

I met Ray Kirk at shows years ago and was responsible for getting him active on this site for a (too short) period. His knives have always been a bargain, and I'm proud to say he became a dear friend of many years. (I spoke to him not long ago after someone mistakenly reported his demise.)

The small double bit was from Lee Reeves directly...and the Case was one of those from the Parker period as I recall.

Nothing particularly elitist in that group...nor in yours truly who hails from humble working class origins.
 
Ahhhh Ray! what a great guy...with the shiniest of domes! I had the pleasure of meeting him at Blade a few years back.
 
I have a lot of love for the Nessmuk design, though I've not found one that really speaks to me. The closest I've found is this knife, my Work Tuff Gear Nomad:

It is absolutely tremendous, and one of my favorite pieces. It is on my belt 90% of the time when I'm not at the office, and has even camped with me and done everything I've asked of it. They are relatively uncommon, since they're made in batches, but I've become a big fan of WTG as a result of this knife.

Here’s the Izula-muk with deer antler handle scales. The choya/epoxy pictures are in there too.
What do you guys think about the two options? The choya is extra special to me because I found it in Mexico during a ceremony week. The antlers I also found in colorado, so they’re special too.
I think I like the way the antler feels in the hand better.
