Default One of my last works , Randall knife - handle

Hello everyone,
I would like to show one of my last carved works with blade of Randall.
It is interesting to know your opinion and comments.



The information about materials

1) Carved mammoth ivory (fossil),
2) green colored mammoth bone (fossil),
3) natural Baltic amber,
4) eyes of lizard made from MoP and pupils made from malachite stone.
5) Guard is 925 sterling silver casting, than engraved.

Best regards,
Vladimir

Vladimir,
Outstanding! Wonderful! It is of particular interest to me because I am working on carving bone to reproduce work done in 15th century Italy. Your design reminds me of work from the 16th and 17th centuries.

Hi Vladimir,
I long ago track your work. It is just wonderful, as that you showed here.

edit:
Hm... If I have to be critical,
the blade is very good, but his rough stamp, "absorb" part of finesse of handle.

But your work is excellent

Welcome and greetings

Thank you for complements!
The blade was sent me by customer which ordered work. In my opinion the stamp is little bit heavy.
Dave, it is interesting to see your works....

I can't say exactly how long I spent to finish one project, sometimes it take month and half and sometimes more, it depend on work. If you are asking about this knife, It took about 1.5 moth.

Vladimir,
Masterful work. I'm familiar with this particular work as the owner of the knife is a friend and customer of mine as well.

PS. A heavy stamp on a Randall is regarded as a good thing!
