I like the Millar and contemporary designs.

SM, no problems here. I got to remember to get off the soap box

Here are some handle materials for tweaking as well. Now all but one of these will be dress. Sorry guys, not really utility. All of these are just a quick sand and buff. Even a scanner can't some of the effects in the ironwood. The outside two pieces are sanded and buffed. All the gemstones are reconstituted.

Here are Scott's materials. Hopefully I will be able to do the sheath -



Some malachite to go with a damascus blade. Again hopefully with a sheath -



Some jade and purple (they call it charoite but it doesn't look a thing like it) -



And for the casual lovers, some sambar stag, the real stuff. This one will go on one without the rear bolsters -
