Alberta fossil damascus
Hi gang!
I'm about done with my first attempt at a frame handled knife. I used some of the fossil damascus we made at Jim's and some of the koa that he stabilized. That koa is beautiful Jim!!! Here are a couple of pics. Dana |

Thanks for the compliments guys. I think the hardest part was figuring out the best method for cinching up the frame against the guard so that it is square (besides not buggering up the guard finishing up the handle). Ed, I slopped out my first time, trust me |:@)! Jim, that koa was stabilized perfectly. I sliced off the scales out of a thicker block and it was completely saturated. Thanks, again guys!
