I love the look of the cactus, but that's alot of filling. Looks great.

That's pretty close to my ideal shape. What are the dimensions? Overall lengths on those run around 8.5 inches. I'll get the exact dimensions when I'm in the shop tomorrow.

Looks like all the Mike's are checking in. Great work, really like that handle.

I love the look of the cactus, but that's alot of filling. Looks great. Those scales are a major pain. Don't know why I keep taking orders for them. I've got five more Damascus drop points with Cholla scales to do for a wedding.  After that I don't really plan to do any more of them.

Thanks for checking Mike, it confirms my tastes, it seems every knife that I find attractive, is about 8 in overall with approx a 4 in drop point blade.

Mike what are you using to fill the holes in the cholla?

I try my best. Mine don't compare to some of the other makers here in the embellishment department but I'm confident in my work.
