Got another one all wrapped up...

[Cousin Jack]

...Get it?...All wrapped up?...'Cause the handle is wrapped....ummmmm, never mind.

Anyways, I finished another one, this one is a nice concealable size. It sports a 3-1/2" blade finished in black oxide that has been buffed to a charcoal grey and then sealed. The handle is wrapped with kangaroo leather.

By the way, those four skulls dangling from the lanyard are the real deal. Hand-carved from ivory and originating from Tibet. I got them in trade from a gentleman in the AF.

Ahhhhhggg! I see this knife everywhere! It's in my dreams! LOL

For those that don't know Mark has only made a few knives but each one shows an unbelieveable amount of talent and grinds you don't normally find new guys doing. He makes good stuff!

Oooh, pretty. Want.

That is a very nice piece, congrats. I like the finish, very clean. What type of steel is the blade?

Thanks

Nice!

Wadda you charge for such a critter?

Have you though about using cotton flat cord and then soaking it in acetone diluted super glue?

I have cotton cord imported from Japan. I also have silk cord imported from Japan. I wouldn't feel bad about sealing the cotton, but I would leave the silk unsealed.

Beautiful work sir, I wouldn't personally want the lanyard with the skulls on a carry knife but they look really cool if it's just on display. I don't know that I've seen a knife with a leather handle-wrap. Very cool
