A nice pair
Here are a couple I just finished. Both have dovetailed mesquite bolsters. Kind of interesting how the "same" wood can be so different. Top one has snakewood and a mosaic pin. Bottom one has rosewood with black liners and a tapered tang. Both are 1080 carbon steel, heat treated in my digital oven.

Re: A nice pair
Those are really smart looking knives, Jason.
I really like the drop point on that bottom blade.
Great work!

Very nice Jason!
Dissimilar woods can make a striking combination in a knife, and I think you used that technique very nicely.
I especially like the bevel between the handle & bolster!
Well done!

This isn't the for sale area, but both of these are for sale. Don't want to break the rules, so shoot me a PM.
