Beautiful knives, great job I’m really digging yours beat up hands to, mine look similar lol

Great job Ben, I envy your folder making skills,

Those are a knifemakers hands. There are true knifemakers and then those who are just knife assemblers using purchased parts and it's easy to tell the difference. Ben is a Knifemaker!!!

Thank you Mike, I appreciate it! My wife is not a fan of the "knifemaker hands" when I'm bleeding all over the place!haha

My wife is used to it Ben. We keep a lot of band aids gauze and wrap on hand.

Bandaids and superglue!!haha

Awesome, at first glance I thought it was mammoth ivory.

it does have that look! I haven't messed with any of THAT yet...pretty expensive if ya mess that stuff up!!haha

Yes sir, back years ago I didn't get door to the shop closed correctly and the old lab that I had at the time got in the shop and chewed up two sets of Mammoth Ivory scales that I had just bought and were laying on the bench. That was an expensive mistake on my part.
