A couple new suppliers

[Drac]

I was researching musk ox horn (saw it on a D Holder knife) and found one site with some exotic handle materials and a related one on band saw blades. Both are out of Alaska.

I also invited the maker to join us but he doesn't have much time to spend on the net.

Yeah, Mark is usualy realy busy, especialy now, he's building a new shop. I keep meaning to invite him here, but always forget it when I'm there. I get all my bandsaw blades there. Great quality.

I've never bought handle suplies from him, but from what he has in the shop, it looks like quality.

Mark carries some good stuff. I bought some mammoth scales before the prices went up. He has some great knives and I like to check his site every so often just to see his latest work.

I was able to meet him at a hammer in last Nov and hold some of his knives. He does some incredible work to say the least. This one actually gave me a headache just thinking about fitting all of the handle materials.

By the time my knives get to this caliber I will be too old to even remember how I did it.
