Making Some Handmade Folders

[Bjankowski]

Ya'll keep taking those poor little ole Mammoth Tusk, you going to make those Mammoth extinct!

All kidding aside; they look awesome!

Fascinating !! Good work !!

Hey Thanx Yall! - paintman the liners are epoxied to the Mammoth Tusk I use vulcanized fiber.
MarkV this batch will run around $1,200 - $1,600 depending on whether it has Stainless Damascus or Carbon Damascus blade and other options like this one has Nickel Silver/Copper Mokume bolsters and then the handle material I use. You can see some on my website at www.chopsknives.com or just stick around and see this baby done! I plan on havin a couple at the blade show at Dallas Market Hall April 13-14
