I don't know why but every time I ship overseas I am in a half-state of panic until it gets where it's going!

Glad you like it, Ronnie.  If you like THAT one, wait til you get the hidden tang!!!!!

Thanks for being patient with me...hope it was worth it.

This might show the blade pattern.  Those are tough to photo!

The pattern on the blade just beautiful, and the "schwoop" sound the scabbard make when you put the knife to rest in it... :bigsmyl:  
Here is a pic from before and after:

Well, that answers my question I was getting ready to ask. That maybe from the other side that was giraffe bone. Wart hog tusk sure has some life to it. Nice job Ray.
