Greetings All:

I've pretty much switched over to alternative ivory offered by Masecraft Supply.....really like the way it works. Paper based ivory micarta makes a nice handle but MY method of finishing it requires much more hand sanding than the alternative ivory. Here's a recent every day carry with alternative ivory and client specified red liners.

Take care,

TK

Amazing work! :thumbsup: That looks like the real thing in those pictures. :eek:

John at Redmeadow knives @lessismore has used it on at least one Bowie, and it turned out beautifully! :cool: Pretty amazing stuff. I can't wait for mine to be completed!
 
Very nice looking knife, I have some pieces of AI I haven'y had a chance to work with yet.
 
I like how it has a real subtle figure to it when you look close. It finishes beautifully, can take scrimshaw well and is decently tough. Your knife looks awesome!
 
I like it too. Nice to work with and the subtle character is really cool.
