Thanks for the kind words guys. I think that Chris has a great 12-8 too. And a very nice photo. Harry, not driftwood. This is Lignum Vitae. It is for a knife project that I have been working on for 2 1/2 years. This project will be completed in the near future.
This beautiful Model 12-8 arrived today. Thanks to the craftsmen at RMK for another superb knife. Their talents are endless. Thanks to Clinton Knives for helping me to acquire another showpiece for my collection. The stag is Clinton stag and in my opinion if you are looking for customer supplied handle material of exceptional quality, their material is outstanding.
Another wonderful Bear Bowie in your collection. I was just thinking how difficult it must be to grind that profile on that blade and make it look so perfect. It really is a masterpiece. You did well with the stag too; very highly figured with lots of contrast. Well done all around.

Kevin, ... OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! The single hilt gives this bear a whole different look. I like it ... a lot! And the stag is PERFECT. Topped off with the butt plate ... a wonderful package! ENJOY! Tony
