Finished this Buck today, I started it a few weeks ago I just found other things to work on.
-
Very sharp looking ( no pun intended ) with the very dark sodalite offsetting the steel. how does that sodalite work?
-
How dose it work as far as durability? Not sure, if it is dropped on a hard surface I will bet the stone will crack or break.( I dropped a nice cab in the shop last week and it ended up in three pieces) But otherwise the stone is harder than the metal and should be fine.

Beautiful knife, Jhon! :icon_thumleft:

looks very neat, nicely done.
-
Jhon that goes beyond nice, fantastic color and craft!
-
Great looking piece for sure. In drops stone usually survives in a 110 as they tend to land on the bolsters. I think I have about 50 to 60 110's being carried and so far no one has broken a scale that I know of.
I do ALWAYS recommend Jade when I am told that the knife is intended for carry and use.

Micheal, I agree with jade for every day use. I have a toothpick with Wyoming jade that I have carried and used for a year and a half without any problems. I gave my daughter a knife with red and green moss agate and she broke it in three months. The scales were a little thin because of the knife design.
She leaned against a hard surface with the knife in her pocket. My son dropped a toothpick with jasper and broke a scale, I gave him anouther with pet wood he has had no problems. I dropped a buck 110 with African blue lace that I was all most finished with and cracked a scale
I have sold or gave away about 15 others without any complaints
