Love that pic andy!
That's a great looking FB Gary!! The WT is no slouch either![]()
That sure is a fine lookin' pair. I don't get to see many of the stag annuals from Case/Bose.:thumbup:
Great combo Gary, love the FB...I see three dog like faces in my minds eye each time you show that beauty, awesome piece of wood! :thumbup:
Thanks Andi. I didn't say what I was seeing, just in case I was hallucinatingIndeed Gary - I can see a face in the wood ... looks like a little ape to me. What a great and wonderful knife![]()
that is a black alox pioneer!
i likes it![]()
The owl fleetingly crossed my mind too. I figured if I said it, then I'd have to send it to Sarah! So I don't see any owl.....Funny Gary, I see an owl on the right, and a raven with a white bill to the left![]()
Thanks guys! I know I've posted that Foster many times but it still ends up on my belt more then the others....
That California Buckeye burl wood has gotten more comments then I can remember. It's some wild looking wood. I just looked at it again and noticed another little face!

You are not alone, Duane. I also thought it would be an owl, but instead it reminded me on a little ape´s faceQuiete cute, if you ask me

Great lookin' knives guys.
I have so many it's hard to pick one favorite. This one Burt Foster made for me is right at the top of the pile though.

Geez, that's beautiful! Help me on the handle material.
The handle on that one is some really wild California Buckeye burl wood. The blade is 220 layer O-1 and 15N20 forged ladder pattern Damascus.
I, too, always enjoy seeing that knife. Looks like a passel of artistically rendered owls on the handle.

There's a whole lot going on in that handle, Sarah.
Working on the little launch boat this morning, and playing with perspective (both in-head and in-camera...).
Near and far.
