That's some pretty neat scales. I can't say that I have seen that before. Very nice work sir.

That is an interesting effect.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

That's just a cool knife all the way around. I think the ergonomics look great...that handle matches the blade profile perfectly. Very nice job.

I have used a couple sets of the Spruce Cone scales. They finish really nicely, and I really like the smell that fills the air while working with it.
Very nice knife.

If you guys got your pine cone scales from Mike at Wood Labs, they probably came from my back yard trees.
He sells materials to Jantz and some others plus at shows.
They look cool both ways. Inside out and outside in.
Nice knife and blade work Droptine.

They aren't that expensive and it would be 12 to 14 weeks before it would be ready anyway so you'd have time to stash some cash!
