I've had a couple knives just SITTING for months now. You have no idea how much that sucked. Anyways, just in time for the GEC open house I got two done. The first is a fantastic #26 Sleeveboard I got from Forensic Jim. It's simply done, but man, I LOVE this pattern. I think I might like it more than the #25, but we'll see.
Stabilized snakewood, filework on the massively thick backspring. Ignore the cuts on the kick. I was thinking of trying some filework on it. Since this knife is never leaving my collection, I don't really mind that I decided against it halfway in. what I have now is a )( shape on the bottom kick. no worries.
The next is a #25EO. Originally orange bone (
) now Random Pattern "Damascus" Micarta in blue and black. I bought a sheet of this stuff, and it's great looking (It has all that texture and color banding even when completely flat). It did warp on my in the few months I had it sitting, so I had to use it in smaller pieces than I originally intended. Filework on the backspring, wonderful little cutter. 
It's fantastic to be able to get some stuff done, even if it's just a little bit, and I have to work really slowly to avoid undue pain and stress. Thanks for looking, as always!
Take care of that hand.
