Another nod to Mr. Loveless.

CPM154 blade with an 800 grit hand satin finish and a full tapered tang.

416 guards, front guard silver soldered as well as pinned. Stainless Corbys and lanyard.

Dyed and stabilized Giraffe bone scales with black fiber liners. Over all length a tad under 14 inches. Hope Bob approves and thanks for looking.

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.
 
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.

Ahh ok very interesting. Ya it really did finish out amazingly
 
There are very, VERY few makers whose work can stand up to THIS level of magnification....
