enjoy!

Very very nicely done...

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Gorgeous!

 

[Valkman]

Beautiful!

 

[Boattale]

Heck of a knife right there. It is way cool.

 

[bannockburn]

Very nicely done!

 

[Shanghai McCoy]

The "Like" button just does not quite cover it.
Again, we need a "Lust" button...

 

[Flat Rock]

Thanks guys!

 

[JShirley]

Good shape. Versatile.

Ivory micarta looks lousy compared to the genuine article.

I would say that the combination of the blade with the micarta, looks amazing. OP makes some amazing knives, it's a good thing to have knife makers come on the forum.

Real ivory would cost you an arm and a leg, if you could even get the proper paperwork for it. Some states have banned the sale of ivory outright.

Absolutely stunning. I want one.

One, rubbish. Two, that's unkind for no reason at all. There are lots of places online, if you're just looking for a place to crap on someone's handiwork. THR is not one.

Agreed and TOTALY UNNECESSARY !

You have great skills. Nicely done!

 

[RonSC]

Very nice work.
I get up your way occasionally (Rex’s Guns in east Flat Rock)
I’d like to see some of your work in person if possible.

 

[Flat Rock]

Thanks Guys! I appreciate the kind words. These knives are a labor of love for me.

That’s a gorgeous knife. Seriously, I’m usually not one to drool over fixed blades but that one is great.

Re: ivory vs ivory-colored linen micarta, I don’t see them in competition, they’re completely different handle materials with different use-cases. I would hands down prefer the micarta on a fixed blade.

I had not seen bone micarta before. I did a Google search on, but most samples online had a darker tan look without a large grain like yours. Your knife has a whiter look closer to ivory, but I like the large grain. Can you share where you obtained yours? I have a few revolvers that would look great with grips from this material. I never liked real ivory, too white with no detail; and stag often has too dark detail with deep uneven ridges. This micarta looks like a nice material in between the two.

That's fantastic.
I like every detail.

This would look great as revolver grips! I get it from Pops knife supplies https://popsknife.supplies/collecti...-material/products/antique-bone-paper-micarta

Here is a Nessmuk I made using the same handle material

Thanks for sharing the source. I’m also visualizing inlays that match the stainless steel or bluing. I’m also thinking that a copper or bronze color inlay could match a cerakote frame color. The just right color of this micarta expands the possibilities.

that is a cool idea! I love a hot blued SAA with ivory grips.....like George Patton
