Tiger Eye has always fascinated me. The way the colors change depending on the light, from the warm iridescent gold to the deep earthy browns. So I figured I should make a knife with Tigers Eye inlays and see if others were equally as interested.
This slip joint is 3 1/4 inches closed, 5 3/4 inches open. The blade and back spring are 154CPM. The body of the knife has integral bolsters front and back made out of 416 stainless. And the inlays are Tigers Eye.
This one is waiting for a new owner to appreciate the depth of the Tigers Eye and the snappy walk and talk. Flush in all three positions and centered on closing with no blade play.
I use a Dellana dot for the opening grip. I find it works easier than a nail nick and also makes the knife ambidextrous.
$350 USD deliveredtiger-eye-slippy-1.jpg tiger-eye-slippy-2.jpg tiger-eye-slippy-3.jpg tiger-eye-slippy-4.jpg tiger-eye-slippy-5.jpg

I don't think I've ever seen Tigers Eye used on a knife, well done. I've tumbled a lot of it, the chatoyance is great! Tumbling some blue right now, also called Hawk Eye.

The thing is, there are so many different types of stones they call Tiger Eyes! It really depends on who you're talking to! Their all beautiful but, then I am a rock collecter! I'm in the process of trying to find a nice fair priced piece of raw Jade for my collection! Any body out there that might have one that needs a new home, let me know! My email is teskridge2@yahoo.com! Thanks!
 
I don't really know either, I'm wondering the same thing! I got a message that said I had a post! Maybe just a glitch in the Matrix! Later!
 
Steve, go to your profile page. It should be the top entry under "profile posts". Maybe I am using the wrong terminology. I am pretty sure they used to be called visitor messages. Sorry that my recalcitrance to pay necessitates this exercise. If you still cannot find it, just give me the go ahead to pose the question in this thread. Thanks.
