All About Pocket Knives

Doing these two bluegrass winchesters reminded me why I love.....and Hate working mammoth tooth

Oh, heavens to Betsy......



Gorgeous Caleb!!

Nice work! I can't imagine grinding something harder than stone is fun but it certainly look rewarding. I'll send you the next sperm whale tooth I find and see how you like that.

Those are beauties!!!

Can't be much worse than this stuff. hard as glass while other layers are soft as ivory and brittle as all get out

Those look fantastic.

Nice work MM.

Beautiful MM! Very unique!

Wow! Those are quite stunning.

You've outdone yourself.

It looks great Kaleb, in spite of the challenges of working with it.

Nice job!

That two bladed trapper is quite possible the best looking Winchester i have ever seen

Those scales are wicked !!

Beautiful job, Kaleb!! Very masterfully done!!
I always wanted to try that material, but wasn't sure what tools were required.

lapidary equipment would be nice but if you're patient standard tools will work (belt sander, buffer ect)

Thanks, Kaleb. The tools, i've probably got covered. Not so sure about the patience, though. Still like to give it a try sometime. The work you do is always an insipation to try new things and do a little better.
