Well, this is it. Loaded Dice Fightn Rooster, rehandled by muskrat man. I realize this is probably not everybody's cup of tea but it is mine. Me and Kaleb tried the reconstituted tortoise first and didn't work so well so he had the idea of puttin buffalo horn on it. Great choice IMO. Really sets it off nicely. Then adding turqoise on the ends, micarta for the dice. And there you have it. Now it looks like some old gambler's knife, I love it.

Thanks again muskrat man for a job well done and willing to work it out. Couple quick and dirty pics.

The LUCKY 7 is sure an eye catcher now.
Yes that buffalo horn is what an old gambler would chose.
Idea for displaying her. "place her on one end and have her slowly turning on a small turn table. To show both sides. Perhaps under her you can have a deck of cards.
Here is what I mean by a small turn table.

Thanks Ken, good idea man.

Think I will try that. Thanks Chris, think I might put some dice around it too and some green felt and make it look like it's in the pot.

C'mon, I love that song Johnnie.

That was when music was real and it would take you somewhere.

Sorry, I sound old again, guess I am.

Thanks fellas, hey Mitch, Craps has always been a confusing game to me but love to watch it played. Don't think I'll set this knife down in one of those games though.
