Great show, Q! ::tu:: You got me hooked on these K'roos a while back and I Love those Wharncliffes & the Warthog Tusk Ivory.
I just pulled out the ones I got from you a couple days ago to admire and wipe down.
Thanks again for allowing me to add these beauties to the hoard. ::handshake::

You're very welcome, Kevin. Sharing the joy is what it's all about ::handshake::

I hope you'll post your K'roos here as well; that's why I started this thread...to show 'em off ::super_happy::

BTW---Although it's been some time since he posted anything, Willem O'Kelly, the South African maker of K'roo, is an AAPK member who goes by the handle "smokepole". I for one would love to hear more of his thoughts on the beautiful knives he makes and the exotic materials he uses. Maybe he'll read this and chime in again some day ::fc::

Such beauties Q and Kevin. I’ve had a couple of Kroo customs that I traded for, wish I hadn’t sold them. Well made and all beautiful. Thanks for showing these.

Great addition to your beautiful K'roo collection, Q! Love the Damascus Coffin bolsters, file worked spring, Lightning Bolt shield, and of course the Ivory scales. ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu::
I had forgotten about this thread, so I will post a couple of my recent pick-ups as well.
