My wife would love to get her mitts on that. She could use it to pry open some cans or jars.
Har har.

Very nice. I appreciate that it looks quite nice but it also looks very much functional based on its shape. Often times the artist takes over and forgets that it needs to maintain a functional design.

"The pattern on the blade came out nicely" I got a feeling it came out better than "nicely"

Everything about it is gorgeous, almost too beautiful to use. I've always been so impressed with your work, but this one is about as good as it gets. Congratulations.

After the camel bone funeral, I virtually stopped using modern animal materials, except for buffalo bone. For some reason buffalo don't count
