I was totally excited to get the knife from Ken today. It's absolutely gorgeous. A friend of mine collects knives and now he wants one... for now I'm teasing him and not telling him about Ken as this is the first time I've had a knife that he didn't have and wanted. Anyway, Ken, fabulous piece, can't wait to get the display built for it!!! Going to get me some green moss agate to use in the display to hold up the knife, should be a wonderful way to show it off.

Here's the pics of my gorgeous new StoneManKen Kinfe:

These next two I concentrated on this one gorgeous clear vein in it, so no, that's not glare, that's the vein showing the full tang steel behind the scales.

Such a goregeous knife, another up-close shot:

Hey Ken, would you be willing to do a tutorial on how you do these knives sometime? Maybe you've already done one and I missed it. I've got sons and would like to be able to do that for them some day. Very nice Robin. Congrats on making your buddy green with envy on such a nice piece and great pics Buddy. Jo

Going to have Ken do a "toothpick" style knife whenever he can get the material for one. Then when I have some real money I'm gonna talk him into a big honking bowie knife!
