The onyx was collected in Mexico and jade by diving in Big Sur. Onyx is awesome stuff to work with!

Tony, you put an amazing shine on that onyx handle! Take care not to loose the grip!

The shapes of the knife are also ellegant and it looks very well proportionned.

PS. What's that coin as a size reference? I was expecting a Guinnes can ;D

Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.

Onyx is easy stuff to get a shine on, I love this material!

I don't know how you did it but it looks seemless between the Onyx handle and the Jade. Beautiful craftmanship.
