Here's a little D-2 Skinner by Nathan the Machinist with Osage Orange Scales.

Osage makes for beautiful scales.

Nathans knives are hair poppin' scary sharp and his knives are well bananced and comfortable to use.

My neighbor borrowed last year and processed 3 deer with it before havin' to strop it to tune the edge up.

Osage is a very flexible wood, the Native Americans used it to make Long Bows for huntin'. :{

I do have to point out there is a small inclusion in the scale, Nathan woudn't sell it because it wasn't perfect but he was generous enough to give it away in a contest, Thanks Natan, I still have and will keep forever the knive it's a beautiful example of your work, thanks.

I know a couple of chain-saw artists and it looks far more intricate to have been carved with a chain-saw, so I guess (and it's a largely uneducated guess), it has to be an axe. Here's some other pics (they were at Knaresborough in North Yorkshire, I'll see if I can find any info on the net).

Jack thanks for posting up those carvings, very interesting. That guy has some skill with a chainsaw. Nice Webermesser too...i'll have to figure out a place to get one of those one of these days.

Today I am carrying this SM Heritage

That Osage Orange is gorgeous stuff, no doubt! I hear as well being flexible, it's super dense and has one of the highest BTU ratings for firewood (but why burn it when you can make such beautiful stuff with it

Thanks, I bought it as a gift for my father 13 years ago while I was traveling around Europe, he gave it back to me about 3 years ago, he is not a knife guy. Both my Laguiole knves make GEC springs pull feel wimpy.

Interesting, did not know that about Languiole knives.
Can I ask where you got that one?

Honestly don't really remember , I think it was a small convenient type store on a random side street in Paris, the older gentlemen, did not speak English & my French is limited to culinary terms and menu/food related topics, but I remember him being very gracious and very proud showing me the knife, and how to carefully disengage the spring, and close gently.
" resort silencieux vivra vieux " meaning silent spring will live longer, I apologize to our French forum members if I butchered that. No kick so part of the blade rest on the back spring, I think the newer ones are made with kicks.
