Here is one I have just gotten ready to ship, it is a small game hunter in ancient walrus ivory and nickle silver. The blade is 1095 and 15N20 at just under 4 inches long and the handle is just a hair longer. The handle is from two different walrus ivory sections, the orange one is from an ancient sled runner and the other a tusk tip, you are looking at the cross section of the tusk. While this knife may never be used, it is fashioned after my popular small game hunter in that the blade is narrow for opening cuts on small legs of rabbits and squirrels and the blade is perched somewhat high on the profile for knuckle clearance when used upside down on opening cuts. I have been getting more and more fond of the rifle-stock shaped grip, I think it looks good and it feels good in the hand. The sheath has an in-set of walrus ivory also. Thanks for looking, hope you like it. Mark

Mark, very unusual design elements on both the knife and sheath!

I really like everything about the whole package! Your handles are always nice!
