Mistakes are like knives. They can help us or they can hurt us. It all depends on whether we grab ‘em by the handle or by the blade.

Those are exceptional, abalone makes some beautiful scales. I seem to remember Bill D mentioning that it is difficult to work with, correct me if I'm wrong.

Beautiful! The 3rd up, a Damascus blade flatguard? That's an interesting combination with abalone.

JulesVane, you have a good eye. Yes, the third one from the bottom (the Damascus) is a pick lock.
