Finished up this project for a friend of mine to give to his son as a wedding gift. The carnivore special…..a carving set, boning knife and santoku with a leather knife roll…..

LOL… thanks for sharing. This is great, well not for you, and I’m sorry for that….but now I know I’m not alone or crazy. I’m that way with many things, rifles, knives, etc. I have a rifle right now that I’m not loving because of the color of the wood and the finish on the stock. I’m going to...

I don’t make many of these because they are so time consuming fitting the guards and mirror polish on the blade but I do love a Loveless Style dropped hunter. Probably the best know hunting knife ever made, certainly the most copied. I just finished this one for me in classic green canvas...

I like that a lot now I’m gonna have to start looking for a piece of it

Same seller I bought from. Don’t know how many he had but he’s had one for sale continuously since last October.

@PARA45 excellent!

And on another note I need to find some ammo or components to load some ammo so I can shoot mine some.

Not sure how I missed this post but I did send you the link in the PM you sent. Did you buy it?

These are a few dyed and stabilized pieces I have for bolsters for an idea of what they look like.

Got a pile of teenagers over here with my daughter and just cooked 8 pizzas in the wood fired oven. Now time to enjoy a smoke and a rum. A beautiful 68° spring evening.

Do you mind sharing your supplier?

I think they find most of it in the frozen tundra fairly well preserved. It can be stabilized with synthetic resins like woods.

Lol….I thought the same thing at first.

Beautiful knife…..Have you got a good source? I’ve been eyeing a pair I wanted but couldn’t make myself spend the $200 they wanted for the pair of scales.

I love an old timer and great fried chicken. LOL …believe an old timer was my second pocket knife after a victorinox Swiss Army knife at 7 years old. I still use it. Their carbon steel would sharpen like a razor.

Thank you!

Good stuff right there!

As for the giraffe bone, it is readily available in the US to purchase but I’m not sure what the process was for the seller to get it here… These are a few dyed and stabilized pieces I picked up for bolster material.

Well since I couldn’t decide, I just went ahead and made me one with ivory G 10 and one with Desert Ironwood. I didn’t make the blades subtly different… The ivory more fin and feather and the wood more for medium game though either would crossover fine.

Very nice

I’ve looked at some photos some have been beautiful but no source I’ve found

That would be fantastic and a kind offer.

The dogwoods are blooming and my truck is covered in pine pollen. I hate pollen! It was a cold winter….I burned almost a whole pickup load of wood. Although to be fair 2/3 of it was in my pizza oven. Lol

I think you already are….you got me to buy….now, how much is the commission? Lol

The Richland is really nice. Has some bourbon notes. Slightly sweet but not too much so. Outstanding sipping rum. Could easily be my new favorite but I will reserve judgment until I’ve tried the recommended Flor de Cana 15. The bourbon notes reminded me of Tommy no. 2 a little but that’s...

My boss is a S.O.B. (I work for myself) LOL It was $53 so about the same….

A little early on a work day to sample just yet but the nose on the Richland is amazing. Can’t wait for a sip this evening.

This particular store had the 4,12 and a white rum. By the time your cigars get here I’ll have saved up enough to spring for the 12.

We scored both but went cheap this round on the flor de Cana didn’t want to drop $150 on rum today. Lol

I finished up a rifle sling and matching 2 inch hunting belt headed to Africa this spring with one of our forum members.

Indeed I will. I didn’t make it by the store today but I did polish off the last of my Appleton estate so I will try for tomorrow!

I’m going by a store tomorrow that the website says they stock it. Will keep you all posted.

Blasphemy! …..Y’all are going to have to make me track down a bottle.

Thank you sir. I replied.

Another knife needs another sheath….

I love olivewood as well and use it very frequently on my kitchen knives along with an ebony bolster.

Arizona desert ironwood

@spike.t ….and I keep waiting for that special outfitter that trades a safari for leather rifle slings, hunting belts, cartridge slides and custom knives. It’s been a long, long, long wait…LOL. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/luxury-leather-sporting-accessories.67412/

Here are a couple I did in velvet mesquite with ebony wood bolsters.

Yes, you can find mammoth tusk still. It’s expensive compared to other options but not terribly so.

Finished up….

That’s a shame. One of the suppliers I use here has some beautifully dyed and stabilized pieces. Best of luck.

I’ve not….had to use my google fu to find some pics.

I haven’t been fortunate enough to take my first Africa trip. I look at it as a welcome experience. I would enjoy learning from my PH. Foreign country, foreign terrain, foreign animals. Hell, as much as I’ve read I still can’t keep all the animals straight. I enjoy being self sufficient but...

Stranger things have been known to happen….perhaps it will get left after a hunt at Takeri

First one made with the ivory handle? Or first one posted with the green handle?

Ok… so here it is not being able to leave well enough alone… Arizona desert ironwood.

@yhc that moose handle is beautiful. I love amber sambar stag…likely my favorite but since the Indian export ban, finding pieces without tons of pith and good character without paying more than the knife is worth, has become near impossible.

I made this one a while back with a stabilized giraffe bone bolster. It was nice to work with. I know Giraffe bone cannot be shipped to some countries. What about traveling with it?
