I just finished this 125ot. I used some bone I had purchased awhile back and finally got the nerve to try it on a bigger knife. Just thought I would share.
You guys have really got me into this knife work ::nod:: It is a good way to relax. plus I am really having fun. :D
Thanks for looking

You do good work ::tu:: I like the jigging on that bone and the color. Do you know the name of that jigging style?

Thank you goldpan ::handshake::
I think it was called carved stag buffalo horn. I have had it awhile and naturally I throughout the invoice. ::dang:: I should keep better track so if I like something I can order it again. :oops: Live and learn. ::facepalm::

That looks really good!
I love the jigging on those handles, too. It has a rugged look that fits perfectly on a large-framed folding hunter!

Thanks, Ivoryman and Reverand ::handshake::
Picking out the handle material for me is a hard decision. Bone for me is especially hard. The color of the bone. smooth bone ,jigged bone ,does it look correct for the type knife it is going to be used on. Maybe I over think it. I get some ideas from people on this site seeing what they do. But the biggest thing I like is I did not crack the BONE !!!! ::ds:: ::ds::

Thanks
Nev

Well you picked great looking bone with cool jigging. You didn't crack it. You made the knife look tons better than Delrin. Win win win! ::tu:: :mrgreen: ::super_happy:: ::groove::
