He's a tiger in the rain
Most of the time
He's the lord of the jungle
Usually he's found just
Lounging around in his stripes
But today his tiger lady's
A superfine feline
and it's the thunder and lightning he can't explain

I have had this tiger almost my entire life
 
J.A. Henckels red bone carbon steel congress pattern, acquired in a knife trade with my neighbor a few years back. I am not sure how old it is, other than it had been in his family for quite a few years. The bone on this knife is really beautiful when the sun illuminates it, otherwise it is kinda plain. The steel seems to sharpen up rather easily. :)

There is nothing plain about that one! Amazing!!!
 
This has seen constant pocket time since its creation, and it looks to stay that way for a while... I just can't stop staring at the ivory, and the bronze has started to develop a slight patina giving it that aged look. I can't wait to see more of the blue/green tones as the patina further develops! If you couldn't tell, I'm especially proud of this one!
