The mammoth molar is really quite striking and the teeth/molars are among the most complex of any mammal. They are composed of plates of dentine surrounded by enamel. A series of these plates (crown) held together by dentine makes up a tooth. The number of plates in each tooth is determined by species and the age of the tooth.Quote:

Some beautiful knives in your portfolio mate.
Do you do traditional folders as well?
No, I dont do folders as they require other/more equipment needs than the fixed blades do.Quote:

There are 3 Mini Skiners and 4 Chamois Hunters in this lot ready to head off to Oregon, with the majority having acacia handles on the 1084 blades with two having spalted Hackberry handles.

I like your style, what is the black wood in your Chamois Hunters?
That is buffalo horn for the bolsters . I have some jet black hornbeam for handles though.Quote:

Some knives for a local customer with the handles from an old Totora verandah post he had. I cut, oven dried, and stabilised them for a handle that is not effected by varying atmospheric conditions with all having brass bolsters. There is a pair of 9 inch pro chefs, a pair of 8 inch filleters, a pig sticker, Tahr hunter and a Chamois knife. The pig sticker is in a deep pouch sheath with the Tahr and Chamois knife in horrizontal closed top sheaths.

The knives are nice, but I reckon it's time to get back to that Lee Speed!
I did do that the other day and have it sanded to 600grt. Have a load of firewood to put away tomorrow and then it will be filling the grain. Waiting for some more alkanet root to arrive so I can make more red oil for the first tone coats before I get to the finishing of it. Will be delivering it to the owner end of april so need to stay on it now to make sure to get it done in time for that.Quote:
