It took about 3 hours to make. I got the idea from Shain Myers tutorial on how to do this process: www.freeformcabs.com/howtomakeastoneknife.htm

Very Cool TonY! I love the fact that you think of something in your mind...and you do it!

I, on the other hand, see something I want to do...and never do it! The Knives are a prime example....I wanna do one...just haven't yet.

I like the aggressive shape of the blade. The handles are a work of art and you placed those blue glares in the BO in the best position. Adrian

Great design on that knife! I wondered what you were going to use that set up for when you posted pics of it. Now I know.

Tweet brings up a good guestion. Have you ever honed one to be functional? I would think if you used the side of a 100 sic wheel like a wet stone it would work on Jade.

The combo of jade and koroit is just perfect. I love the way the patterns flow in there!! T
