Thanked: 324Queen of spades
Thos was a project that took a lot of time and planning and very careful execution but we were very pleased with the finished piece. Some of the challenges were turning a hippo tusk into usable scales, scrimming both sides, full hand engraving, inlay of mother of pearl in the steel tang and face engaving in the blade.

Thanked: 4827That is super slick. I have seen pictures of your scope set up. Are you scrimming by hand or with a gun? Beautiful design and execution.

Holy craftsmanship Batman!
That is absolutely stunning work all round.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
