I thought I'd show this knife here. I call it the "High Roller" hunter because of the handle material. This material is MONEY!! No....seriously...it's actually money. 
Real U.S. shredded currency cast in alumilite resin. It's a real high quality product, no cracks, bubbles or voids. Pretty neat stuff, I think. It looks like digicam to me so I thought it would be cool on a hunter.
Specs:
Hand-forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched and etched
8 1/8" overall, 3 7/8" blade, .200" thick at the ricasso with full distal taper
False edge, just shy of sharp
Heavily rounded spine and ricasso edge for comfort
Rounded, filed thumb grip
Black g-10 collars
Bronze Coin-edged spacer
Shredded Money 'moneycarta' contoured handle- material courtesy of http://kobrakydexgear.com/ Thanks man!
My signature fluting on the butt end, though it's a bit hard to see because of the pattern of the money (made doing that extremely difficult on this piece, by the way)
Black g-10 checkered bolt cover
The right hand horizontal carry/cross draw sheath is sharkskin and lined with deerskin. Courtesy of my friend and master leather worker Claude Scott.
