Looking for a Custom Knife Maker with Lapidary Skills

Post by Hukk »

I recently aquired some California Jade slabs to be used in re-handling some knives I have. The Jade mine they have is very remote and almost everything is helicoptered out. My wife and I are going back there this weekend to find out more about the Jade. Since this is the new world, this is young Jade and I think it contains a good deal of titanium, I'll get that scoop this weekend also. Here is the website:
http://www.riverblossomjade.com
I paid $50.00 for 4 slabs, a far cry from what you on their site.

Anyway I need to find someone with lapidary experience to re-handle the knives. I appreciate the help.
here are a couple of pictures of the stone slabs. The color is a little off, I took the pictures late in the evening.

I wish I knew someone! That is still gorgeous, even though the color is off!!
