Queen BiCentennial Grandaddy Barlow

[Reverand]

I just finished this knife for a customer, a 1976 Bicentennial Granddaddy Barlow rehandled in Ram's horn.
Cutting into that horn to inlet a shield had my stomach tied up in knots!
I tried to take better outdoor pictures of the finished knife, inspired by the beautiful photography of the late Ivoryman.

Nice job Love that horn

I agree with Philip, your customer should be pleased (as would Ivoryman with your nature pics)

Pretty knife and great pics.

Nice work! I think horn is underutilized as a handle material. Some horn looks cheap, but when done right, as you did this one, it is sweet!

Looks awesome, Reverand! She's ready for the semi sesquicentennial celebration next year.
