OCD Shortie in Kauri
This little gem is another shorty. She's an 8/8's 1/2 hollow French point with just a touch of sway in her spine. There are two sets of jimps on top for the fingers and a thumb jimp underneath. Instead of a barbers notch I gave her jimps on the bridge of her nose.
The scales are 60,000 year old Kauri from New Zealand, Also known as ancient wood and is very rare or at least has a limited finite supply. I put on a 12 layer coat of CA to show the beauty of the grain. The wedge is polished aluminum.
AS always thanks for looking,

Nice work, Bob! The edge seems to follow the spine. All those jimps! I dig it!

I know the feeling! As Bob stopped by the other day, I held it in-hand. It's a beaut!
