S30V with Mountain Mahogany scales and nickle silver hardware. I call this patern the "Goodnews Knife". Ref: Goodnews River AK. Boise Can't wait to see how that really good wood looks. Tim

That's a good lookin' knife. About as clean as it gets. Very nice. I wish you had an album of your work...I'd like to see more of it.

Nice looking blade. Not much that pattern could not accomplish.

Tim,
Glad to see you getting some use out of the wood. It does look nice with that blade. I'm also excited to learn how the stabilized mahogany turns out. Sort of surprises me the mahogany isn't more popular with western hunters given it is native to the area.
Is that a new blade pattern for you? It looks to be a dandy.

Tim,
Is that handle fat enough for me? You know how I loved the handles on the Osceola Companion.

Boise That is some of the stabilized wood, I just didn't start out with a more highly figured piece. I have only done a couple in that patern. One is in Goodnews Village Ak, "TimZ" has one, and I have three. Of the three, I have one in 154CM and dyed camel leg bone that could "relocate" if it found the right home.
Mannlicher Sorry Sam, but that is an exact fit for my hand.
Thanks for the comments. Tim

Looks very nice. I like the way the grain turns about halfway down the scale.

Tim,
I thought both the mammoth ivory knife you did for me and the little Osceola Companion I just got were in that same pattern? Will look tonight and compare....
Do you have a pic of the giraffe leg bone knife to show? always liked the way that looked...

TimZ You received- High Country Hunter with stag. High Country Hunter with mastadon. Loveless style drop point with sheep horn. OC-11 with bocote. Oversize Loveless style drop point in cocobolo (for friend). Goodnews Hunter with bocote.---sister to the above knife.
The High Country Hunter has a full length stick tang and the Goodnews Hunter has a full tang for slabs. They do look a little similar.
Say, you've been a busy guy. I would like to publicly thank you.
The giraffe leg bone knife has been asked for. Maybe he will have a pic if finds it worthy.
Thanks Tim

That's a good lookin' knife. I really like the profile of that blade, and the shape of the handle.
