That’s a wonderful marriage of color and material. I’m sure it will be a quick seller ! "festive"

Thanks

Thanks Kurt,

Walrus Tusk has that unique corn cob pattern on the inner sections of Tusk. It’s instantly recognizable. Ask any Walrus ...

These Mosaic are a bunch of work. But they are so rich looking.

Thank you Kurt. Great to hear from you.

Oh ... wait til it’s polished. This is just 320 grit sanded.

When making the individual components, I’d hold them up to the light, and they’d glow in beautiful translucence. They’ll be pretty.

Blade hardened and Tempered. The profile is ground. The edges are blended. Interior parts are fabricated. Need heat treating.

I’m deciding now: Polish bolsters, relief carve bolsters, line engrae bolsters???

The engraving/carving is coming along.

And the White Moth liked my Coffee break “Eye Study”.

Very elegant Gary
I’ve honestly never had a better light weight knife in my life . The aluminum has really stood the test as my Damascus blade guard in my FRONT pocket. The carving/ engraved bolsters still look great too . More people really need to use and carry your knifes to appreciate the longevity .

Thanks
Kurt
