Landscape Tigereye is what the seller called it. Tigereye with hematite.

I love how the hematite curves in the tiger eye. It adds a lot of sinuous movement to the whole thing. Really cool. You did a beautiful job!

Lucky friend. That is a really cool piece. The material was a great choice. Were the handles tumbled at all or all hand work? And pins used or just epoxy?
I have not seen Gerber knife blanks. Guessing you removed the original handles.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. My friend had a whoops moment with his knife. We were out in his Jet boat when it just died. Broken wire. He used the knife to strip it and set the knife on the motor and melted the grips. I must have done good, he is a knife maker and was impressed. Its no longer his everyday knife.

I only have one convex wheel and had to much trouble trying to make my expando do the job on the small inside curves. I had to tumble it one scale at a time so they would not bang together. I don't have a drill so it is all epoxy.

As for the material, was the only stuff I had that was long enough.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
