nice looking knife cowboy

i am sure you guys get tired of people saying stuff like  "wow thats nice,you want my address"
i aint gonna tell ya to send me that knife,but that pile of rocks ya got laying there,sure would be nice to have .
hopefully this weekend i can stock up on some rock.

i wanna be that good someday,so i figure after a few tons of rock have been busted up,i might be able to make something like that.

that is a fine knife,cool autograph too
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd

But their is a lot to say for tonnage, if you have the bug you'll deffinantly get there ;). That's funny Dana - thanks. Oh and I do still have your addy and am gettin really close ::).

Very nice there Paul.  What did you do the Wolf with?  Is it burned and/or inked like scrimshaw?

So far, I haven't found any Osage or knappable rock over here.  Embrace the suck

Nice knife, Paul. I like tough rock. It's more trouble to get worked down, but it's tough and sharp when you get it there. That one looks like it would be a good knife to use as well as looking good.

Thanks all! It's a labor of love or at least great meditation :). This knife aught to be able to clean any critter on the continent with just a resharpening now and then..
