Raspy Drop Point.

Just finished this one for an order. Rasp blade with Cholla cactus scales. Filling every little pin hole on the cactus scales is a pain even after it's been stabilized.

Real nice, Mike.

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.

Beautiful work, Mike.

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

Great combination of materials Mike. Really nice knife.

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.

Checked it this morning before I shipped it out.
OAL 8" but I can make them any way someone wants.
Spine to edge is 1 1/4"
Blade length is 3 3/4"

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?

Dyed epoxy after it's been stabilized.

What do you fill the holes with, an acrylic or epoxy?

It's West Systems dyed epoxy after it's been stabilized.

That's really nice

That is a great looking knife sir.

Nicew knife Mike, I like your work.

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.
