Bowie and skinner set

Here are some pics of a matching set I made. Elephant ivory, My damascus, nickel silver and sterling silver pins. Large one has a 9" blade and is overall 14 1/2. Sure hope you like them.

Beautiful set! It makes me nervous just thinking about peening all of those pins without cracking the ivory. You must have a soft touch my friend.

Thanks for the comments. Just as I finished these, I got an order for 2 more. Thank goodness I have other orders because they are a bugger to make.

Thanks again for the kind words. Always means a lot from folks in this community. Dave, the sterling silver are pins with heads. You never peen any pins or anything when working with ivories. Just to much of a chance for cracking or splits.
