spiders and skulls...Mikov style

Post by eastcoastsniper »

Greetings all,

Here's one I've been working on for a few weeks now. I just got the brown dye in the mail yesterday and she was ready to be assembled today. The scales started off as pure white cow bone, shaped to size and hand jigged with the spiderweb pattern. First dyed black, then sanded and dyed brown. Because of the nature of bone, each scale took on a little different color, but, I think that adds to the uniqueness of the knife. I used the adjustable pivot barrel for the blade and torx screws hold her together.

Haaaaa....I checked the threads on the screws this time!

Enjoy!!!

Thanks for the comments guys... Justin, I've usually got 2 or 3 going at a time all in different stages. Hour wise....this one was probably around 8-10.
