Ken Erickson hand peachseed jigged bone with hammered pins

This is some of the best looking jigged bone I've ever seen! Just want to rub my finger over it so bad! Not surprising since it's one of Ken's.

I can't get as close with the Droid but here is a closer view of a Boker stockman I've recently acquired. With the help of some here in the traditional forums it was figured to be Celluloid.

Philllll....that 3rd cut stag is amazing.

I could stare at these shots for days. Keep 'em coming! :thumbup:

Cool idea for a thread! I snapped a few late last night. They're a little fuzzy, I'll try some better shots this weekend. These are straight from my carry rotation, so please excuse the dirt & lint!!

This is from the recent run of 85's, the antique yellow. Just got it yesterday actually!

At this magnification, the joint between bone & bolster is crazy impressive!

This is one of my favorite office carry knives, a cocobolo Calf Roper stockman. I never realized how "sloppy" the shield inletting was until this picture!

She's been well used, to say the least!

This is a Queen made SFO Railsplitter pattern in Ram's Horn (straight from the pocket, sorry for the dirt!).

Last one in Ram's Horn.

This thread is great! I don't know that I have the equipment necessary to get any good macro shots (most of my photography is just done with my iPhone), but these images are very cool!

My first attempt with an old point and shoot. Makes me want to get a macro setup! Great idea for a thread!

Very cool! :thumbup: I didn't even think about the alox SAK's!
