Something special about Sheephorn and your steel makes it all the more pleasing!

Chris Montgomery (akaboomer) and I made a quick trip to Louisville to be at the Knife Maker's Guild show and picked up a few things and this set of sheep horn scales is one of them. Thanks

Really nice Lin. Sheep scales are a great contrast to fine lines.
Also nice to see something beside a tree that's older than me (magazine)

Thanks guys. This knife will probably end up being a user by someone. It should serve the purpose.

Good to know it'll be used.  Always depresses me to see a good knife get "collected".

No doubt that knife needs to see blood.
