As Promised- Giraffe bone damascus skinner
« on: September 30, 2008, 06:21:00 PM »
I built this for FerretWyo and had to rush it out for his elk and mule deer hunt a couple weeks ago.

He graciously took some photos and here it is.

hope you like it. Someone nice named Skullworks traded me this bone for some ironwood scales. I really like working with this stuff and have purchased more now.

When you get here tomorrow I'll show you the blade I'm gonna be using those slabs you sent me, Lin.

They are going to go so well with it! I really like this giraffe bone.

Thanks again for the knife Ray. I hope that it will get alot of use. You are a true artist with an amazing talent. It wont be the last knife I get from you.

I had to hide this knife and watch close when I let someone see for fear I would not get it back.  The acalades you recieved here are very much deserved.
