Knife #3 Swiss Army 'Recruit' with Graveyard Plume scales

[southerly]

Here is the knife for my youngest daughter, she chose the exact same knife I used for my first knife, the Swiss Army 'Recruit' which has two knives, a can opener and a screw driver. She also chose Graveyard plume for the scales from a slab I had, I did not have enough so I sourced another piece from a local dealer, I only used the one slab but it was amazing how good a match it was for material I purchased 30 years ago.

I paid a lot of attention tot he perimeter and the girdle on this knife and it paid off really well. Will post some picks of it in sunlight if the sun ever chooses to show its face again. I considered trying to accommodate the tweezers and toothpick which fit under the scales but chickened out, maybe next time.

Looking forward to tacking a knife with bolsters next time as I really like the look of those and cutting it on the knife will be interesting.

The stone really is beautiful and makes incredible scales.  Wow.....

That Graveyard sure made for a killer set of scales !!

I like both knives.  The plume is great.
