Simply beautiful, one day I'll get to an east coast knife show and see your work in person. Thank you for sharing your work, it's a benchmark and inspiration.

I love every decisions that were made in the design and execution of this knife ! the black liners really help bringing the whole handle together (literally and figuratively lol).

Utterly amazing…..the hits keep coming!!!!

Nice work Peter - old Bob could learn a thing or two from you

Looks great!!
I’m curious, that giraffe looks very close to ivory. Now all the giraffe scales I’ve seen you can tell it apart from ivory very easily because it has these super little pit like voids in them. Did those scales have them too and you filled them Or just not at all?

Thanks for the kind words Gents, glad to hear you like it.

Hi Paul, I know what you mean about pores in some sets of scales. In my experience they are more prevalent in white/natural sets. The older weathered sets that are dyed must accept more resin . This set was particularly good and had none. Took a beautiful finish.

Is this knife available to purchase? Thanks
