Loving that 85 Abalone, Jim. I noticed they used a matchstriker pull on that which is pretty neat and unusual.

Please excuse my ignorance but I was under the impression the Abalone Looking Glass was an acrylic but in your pictures it looks like real abalone. What gives?
And what does the LVS stand for in LVS Abalone?

As I understand it, LVS = laminate veneer sheet. Looking glass in GEC nomenclature means a knife gets a very thin abalone or pearl base and then it's covered with clear acrylic material. Looks like solid abalone or pear until viewed on it's side.jerryd6818 wrote:Please excuse my ignorance but I was under the impression the Abalone Looking Glass was an acrylic but in your pictures it looks like real abalone.

Here's some pics of one of mine done in yellow awabi shell looking glass.

Ahh, thank you. So it's not ground up shells but an actual solid thin sheet of real shell, topped with acrylic. I appreciate the explanation 'cause I didn't have a clue.
