Spyderco Tenacious in Amboyna Burl

[steve1673]

Thought you guys might like this one - Spyderco Tenacious in Amboyna Burl. Everything came out quite nice, I think.
The original plan was to make a matched pair of these, spyderedge and plain edge, but annoyingly I went and screwed up one of the other scales. I can get another block to work from, but they're not going to match exactly. I think I'll leave this one as is, and try again for the pair later.
Now that the original plan is out the window, I'll probably stare at this one for a little while and admire it, and then stick it up for sale somewhere.
Anyway, let me know if you have any questions or comments I can help with.

Beautiful work, Steve. That looks awesome. I just made a set for my father in law out of spalted timarand for Christmas. Hes into ham radio so i hand painted(thats why it looks a little rough) his call sign onto one side. Then clear coated, wet sanded, rinse, repeat 5 times. You might be able to appreciate the pain in the arss this was. Haha.
