Overall, nice looking knife but that mosaic pin would look nicer centered in the knife (unless its the angle of the camera that makes it appear so.)
I've tried that wood before(though not as good looking as yours) and it was a pain in the ##s to work. How did you work your wood? Pat |

nice!
That is an exceptional piece of lignum vitae, most of that wood is very straight grained and really boring looking but you hit the jackpot with that one!! I also agree about the pin, it should be centered in the handle. Over all though, nice work.....Remember...Hit it while it's HOT!!!

C'mon Mitch..., you know that knifemakers can't afford to go to Jamaica!
That's a nice piece brother. Remind me again what a superglue finish is? __________________ Andy Garrett https://www.facebook.com/GarrettKnives?ref=hl Charter Member - Kansas Custom Knifemaker's Association www.kansasknives.org "Drawing your knife from its sheath and using it in the presence of others should be an event complete with oos, ahhs, and questions." |

lignum vitae
Good looking wood. Is that piece a bit lighter than normal lignum vitae? I bet it was hard to work. Remeber, that in the age of wooden ships and iron men, they used to make ball bearings out of that stuff. We have a few stands of the stuff left in the Florida Keys, but it is pretty endangered in the US.
