Sorry men, some things never change, still not good with downloads.
I spend a lot of time in the shop but still shoot the R9 every now and then.
Hope everyone has been well, try to keep up with the Forum when I have time love the advice and information.

Dino, very nice indeed.
  You know I just had a birthday and if you sent a gift it never arrived, either one of those would be a good replacement. ;D ;D

Awesome. What is the blade material/hardness of the black handled one. Beautiful but still looks functional for a nice fixed blade. I presume the sheath is leather?..........Ricardo

It is obvious that you are now ready for "prime time" in the world of blade art. Let us know if and when you decide to turn your avocation into a profession and start taking orders.

Thanks for the kind words men, Richard the Giraffe bone damascus was knife #21. Working on 22 and 23 now.

Have not put any up for sale yet but have donated a few for fund raisers.  One will be auction offed at the Academy at Kings there in Tennessee this Saturday for thier fundraiser.  However I have not forgotten you have the rights to the first one I put up for sale.

The black handle one is cape buffalo horn with a D2 blade hardened by Peters to a 58-60.  However they look like art knives they both are made with hard use in mind.

I send the kinves to Peters for the heat treatment and to Bob Schrap for the making of the sheaths,  again thanks for the kind words.
