Razor wanted me to put this image up, Can you guys help razor identify this auto. It's a 9" with a damascus blade, don't know what kind of material is on the handle. It seems to to some kind of stag. It also has some file work done on the inside spacers and back spine.

Oh yeah he also said it isn't for sale :(

The scales look to be Giraffe bone. But it could be other things also. It is hard to tell from a picture due to changes in color and doesn't alow for texture of the material.

I'll play around with image a little, change contrasts, saturation, hue etc. to make the handle the best looking. Though I'm tired I'll do that tommorow.

Slo Joe

Arlin [SloJoe] is a true gentleman, and great to do business with. His recent knife-making/knife-modifying efforts show amazing talent.

After contacting SloJoe and checking out his craftmanship with modifying autos, i've decided to add a few of his knifes to collection. Love the file work and the materials he uses for handles. His prices are also reasonable.
