Raindrop Damascus BM Skirmish HK copy
« on: September 14, 2011, 10:43:00 AM »
I had this made for a buddy of mine. It is a Benchmade Skirmish HK copy that has been stretched out a little and the thumb grooves left off. Pattern is raindrop damascus. Blade is 4" and OAL is 8.5". Scales are stabilized Banksia seed pod with blue pearl acrylic in the seed pods. Blue liners with mosaic pins and brass lanyard tube.

Ok, that handle material is something else.  What exactly are those seed pods and how is that blue stuff added?  Really looks interesting.

I'm sure they put the pearl blue acrylic in before the stabilizing process.
