Wow Jim, just great.
And a beautiful little knife too, Don.
You both outdid yourselves on this one.
I love your cross between Celtic and basket weave designs, Don.
A real out-of-the-park home run.
Congratulations to both you gentlemen.
John.

Don and Jim

You both owe me a new lap-top.
Mine shorted out from drooling.

It just keeps getting better and better.
Don what does the rest of the knife look like? Shortcut, mistress?

Jim I thought the work you did on my knife was great but the shortcut blew me away and this one...

Thanks for the comments, folks. Jim did a superb job on this one; the background is lined with gold.

This is a shot of the whole knife, showing the other side. It is a "Shortcut".

Thanks for the very nice comments?..
To say the least, this was a little challenging. I don?t have to tell you craftsmen the headaches in laying this one out?.over, under, back under and on and on. Once one side was complete transferring was a piece of cake. The gold work was not that hard and I thought, gave the over all project a nice touch. Thanks to Don on this one?.who just turned me loose to have some fun.
Thanks for the comments and if you have any questions just let me know.
Jim

Again, Very nice work, and Don what a beatiful knife...
