Is that "Rhodonite" the stone? Are you looking to use it for the entire handle or an accent? I do not have any experience with it, but I sure am curious to to see what some of the others here have to say about it.
Looking good - keep it up. Gotta love cheap or even better yet free materials. I have a few scraps of Corian sitting on my bench right now, that I have been thinking about using for handle material. Might Have to give that a try.
Very, very nice. I can't decide which one I like more. First I thought the engraved one, then I thought I liked the recurved blade on that second one. Fact is - they are both good looking. Thanks for sharing those.
