I really have been able to get some rare versions of stone lately and here are a couple of knives done in another unusal stone - purple tinted Willow Creek with Orbs, "Picassio" looking mixes and even reverse "shock waves" running through the orbs in the reverse direction to the orbs.  All in all some very incredible Willow Creek Jasper.

A quote for the luck of words.

I hardly ever look at knives shown, but I'm glad I did this time. This looks fantastic.

Simply amazing material and premium craftmanship equals perfection. omg

If I was to have and sell it I definately would ask a premium price!!!!!! eyes1 eyes1

On second thought if  I owned a knife like that I would not sell it at any price.   yes

Wow Michael, you did it again.  Beautiful.  Great work.  I always look at where the stone meets the bolster to check your fit and it always looks perfect.  That is where I struggle.  If your off even a .001 it wil show.
