This Buck 55 is done with SYNTHETIC OPAL scales and engraved bolsters done by DC Lance my "partner" in knife art. This knife is a part of my "personal collection" line.

Synthetic opal cuts and looks like very top end opal. it still is spendy with the pieces used on this knife costing over $100.00 but REAL opal this size and color would have cost on the far side of $1000.00. :shock:

pmike5869 - I am currently trying to obtain enogh to do two more Case XX Tiny Trappers or Buck 503's and a Case XX whaler. It is hard to get in slices big enough for a knife.
