Follow up....here is the remaining group of my "antique gold" handle material...I bought a bunch form a guy who was selling on the "Bay" years back....I paid way too much for them, however, after getting beat out of the first 2, I wasn't going to let that happen again, so...I made contact...shot off my mouth..."I'll take all you got"...yeah, well not being one to go back on my word, I did buy all he had.. .unfortunately, it was a butt load, and it was VERY expensive!! anyway, just one story...there are more...
maybe be nice to see some of the knives that YOU/dealer have had the shop do for YOU...talking just about ones that have come from the shop just for you, not bought second hand...
