Those are some great looking knives.

I have never worked with K720, how was it to work with?

Also on the Thumb Grove on the first knife is it hand filed?

Great Work!

thanks

the K720 works fairly well, not from any particular problems.
I do not understand the phrase:
Also on the Thumb Grove on the first knife hand is it filed?

you could explain it better?

Sry, when I said Thumb Groves I was talking about the slots on the spine of the blade, towards the handle. I associate Thumb Groves with a spot to put your thumd for better control over the blade and actions of the knife.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

By the way what type a marble is the handles made of where was it QUARRIED. I am used to Tennesse pink, never saw such a bright red.

How hard is it to work marble? I never thought it'd be a suitable handle due to its some-what fragibility
