Wow, another Top Notch re-handling.
I don't know if you are in business as a knife 're-handler' but you certainly could be and with a long wait list.

That is gorgeous! Ebony is beautiful anyway, but you captured that grain pattern artistically. Your work is great, and that knife is elegant!

Thanks guys. I really appreciate all the kind words! Just a plumber that does this in my spare time to relieve stress. I I’ve got a couple under my belt now. Inspired by Glennbad and muskrat man a few years back. A lot of fine folks on this forum have given me quite a few pointers along the way. I remember asking some of the dumbest questions and these guys were as patient as could be with me
