Here's a little something new. Very nice sized little drop point with Jigged Green Canvas Micarta and tapered Tang. This is my first attempt at jigging after seeing it done once. Certainly not as good as the great work I saw, but I think it came out pretty decent. Intended to be more like true old style jigging. It is definitely grippy and I personally like the feel a bunch. Let me know what ya think.

That is a nice looking knife. The guys are right, you have been getting better all the time.
I sure wish I was as talented as you guys that can make those. What an art!

That's a nice size knife. It looks good. Nice work on the tang and the jigging. I agree that the swedging is a good thing.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Today's mail brought an ESEE Izula II knife. I thought that it was the cat's azz until I saw Dale's little beauty. They are about the same size, the other than that, there is no comparison.
Now I have knife envy again. Dang!
