Really nice job, Ken. I saw a display of hunting knives recently at a show where the guy had put poished rock handles on them. I wonder now if he bought the knives and took the handles off of them, or if he bought the blades somewhere and added the handles.

Hope

that really fine and I like the different stones
good cuts !
barlow pocket knives design goes way back
and they were made sort of 'on the cheap' by design
you certainly made this one even more collectible ken

I did this handle a few weeks ago

this is a Pakistani knife
now those are really cheapies
but its probly 30 years old and still working

o and I'd like to use the excuse
that this was my first attempt at knife handles
but after 52 years its sort of lame to say
its my first time for anything

I'm a hack ;D

That mookite nicely sets off the two pieces of pet wood. Garry
