Great pic my friend. You do such a better job than I do on catching the chatoyance in some of the woods!

Progression of two of the most recent Elk Guides:

At the 220 grit stage, I go to 600.

A set of steak knives in this batch too. Twelve total knives in this batch.

All done:

Buckeye burl with ironwood spacers on the steak knives.

Ironwood and Bocote on the Elk Guides:

Dave, please forgive my asking:
Is the Elk Guide modeled on the Nessmuk knife?
It looks great.

You can still reach the floor? Must be nice. @ my age the floor seems at least 6 to 8 inches lower than it was when I was not old.
Ide need a reach extender to get that button ... and likely to put the knife on the tow of my boot ...

I am 57 and I feel the floor getting father away already! And my growing mid section keeps throwing up a blockade . But I have been stretching to get ready for ski season. I also practice deep squats so I can keep my quads and hips functional for the aforementioned skiing.

Well done, John! I have shed a first wife and accumulated many new knives in the last decade

A Tinus Stone. My cat is tripping on catnap. I remember the pattern on that damascus. For me these days tripping means I’ve fallen.

Thanks amigo! Sure is a nice piece of DIW you put on that Cowboy

My rotation schedule dealt me no wood this week, but I have this bubinga CEM agricultural knife from Italy in a kitchen drawer and used it to chop vegetables for supper on Sunday. Here it is in a recent shot of some new work boots (not TOTALLY new, they probably have at least 80 miles on them now, but I got them the last week of October):
