Title: Coral and agate knives
Post by: Stringman on September 18, 2017, 10:49:57 am

I got this agate from a friend out west but I don't know the specific name. I paired the blade with a piece of santos mahogany and I really like the combo. The coral blade is matched to a piece of Brazilian rosewood that I've had for several years and finally found the right project to use it on.

Typical SS workmanship!  I have five blades Scott made while he visited.  Put hafts on all of them and they really look good.  Don't know how to post photos so just take my word that they are fantastic.  Joe
