Title: A pair of Snakewood Mammoth combos
Post by: skullworks on April 04, 2011, 07:41:00 PM
I did these for a couple of Tradgangers.

Random damascus with Snakewood & Mammoth Ivory, black liners and spacers with mosaic pins. Blade is 4" and OAL is 8".

This one is a Firestorm damascus pattern. Snakewood and some awesome crackled Mammoth Ivory. Red spacers and liners with mosaic pins. Blade is 6" and OAL is around 11".

Wow, your work is amazing, Clarence!  Do you make the sheaths as well?  I admire the knife I recently purchased from you a couple times every day.

Great looking knives! Cracked mammoth ivory - I've never seen them before. It's got a lot of character! Love your sheaths too.

Those knives look amazing, Clarence. You do beautiful work. I wish I had a couple of your snakewood and mammoth ivory handled knives -- oh, wait -- I do!! The ivory on these knives is really pretty, and different from one another. I like the smooth look of the one and the crackled look of the other. I also think the mosaic pins look very nice, although my knives have the solid brass pins. Both types of pins look good, with my eye going more to the mosaic pins and a little less to the handle ivory and wood. It just depends on the effect you want, but either way is great, and I like both. Same thing with the black versus the red spacers. I can't decide which I like better. A little more flash and color with the red; a little more subtlety and muted color with the black. Keep showing us your beautiful knives.

That is one sweet combo! Great job matching the leather sheath to the Snakewood also!

I agree on the pins. I only use them when requested on mammoth ivory or mammoth tooth knives. I like plain brass or copper myself but aim to keep the customer happy! I hope yours are serving you well! Thanks for all the compliments!

Awesome knives! I think the second one is my favorite but I wouldn't want to have to choose.
