James that #73 OO is one of my favorites. It's pretty when newer, but it takes on a character like no others when carried and used!Osage Orange

Beautiful knives Dave.One of the reasons I love working with natural materials so much is the variation. This Poco in box elder is a very small knife. The handle was literally cut from the same scale. Not from a set of scales, from the same scale, yet look at the difference. I just find this cool.

Ron, I've admired your Osage 73 for years. I carry an ebony 73 quite often so I made an effort to keep mine as new, though that may change someday. I do like the way OO ages.James that #73 OO is one of my favorites. It's pretty when newer, but it takes on a character like no others when carried and used!![]()

That’s a nice one Bill! Mighty fine gesture from Ed!
Thanks- divine
Could you please give some further info
Anyone else up for a wood handle Wednesday? I just received this curly zebra wood Queen gunstock from tonystl and figured it would make a nice start for wood handle Wednesday.
Hope you don't mind if I borrow your pick Tony as I haven't had a chance to take any myself.
