    I've used curly koa, but never with that great contrast. Nice, useful design and nice work.

    Hunter in she-oak and copper

    This is my coffin handled hunter. The blade is 4 inches of flatground, distal tapered 3/32 inch S-30V. This particular piece of she-oak has a lot more contrast than what I usually see. Copper bolsters with NS pins and copper/NS trim. HT by Bos and still needs a sheath/sharpened.

    One for her boss and one for the lady

    Marbles Cutlery LLC files bankruptcy

    They were having the Chinese,for the most part, turning out crap for them; no wonder no one bought much. Sometimes you pay the price, instead of the customer.
