Finally got brave enough to cut the green abalone shell. Chief toothpick with green abalone on it.   Thanks for looking, Ken |

That is just too pretty to be a knife handle. I would love to have a pendant made with that. It's so special. You did do an excellent job on the knife handle, I am just jealous.

Ken, you should do a tutorial on working with abalone. I've tried a few times, and always ended in disaster. Beautiful job on that knife.

Awesome; cabbed and polished Abalone and Paua shell is at the top of my list. It looks so good in the sun. Opal of the Sea
