Pure class and style from one end to the other.
so nice i was trigger happy
Yes sir!!
That is nice!! I like everything about it.
keep up the good work.
Very nice! The handle is beautiful and would definitely look good with my Longbow or my recurve.
That is beautiful!! Very well done!

Very nice!!!
Chad, I did use a dremmel with a diamond tip. A very small carbide ball cutter will work better. The stippeled area is maple, I stained it then stippeled to see progress, then stained again.
I'm going to use stippeling more and different shades of stain together for more contrast on future projects.

Thats exceptional buddy. Love it.
Thats nice, I do favor the embelishment to be on the handle. So that fits the bill to a T.

WOW!
too cool!
The sheath is very original and a great compliment to the knife, excellent work of art there.
Awsome Work!! When I see Fine Wire work like that, the word "Elven" comes to Mind!! Being a bit of a Lord of the Rings Junkie, its Beautiful enough for an Elf Warrior to Carry!!
