Project Story:

This knife was ordered as a gift for a friend of the customer. The friend loves to fish in Oklahoma, and Large Mouth Bass is his favorite fish to hunt. The scrimshaw artwork on this knife is my own original art, and has been scratched with a knife point and round pointed scribe tool. The scrimshaw has been done on a piece of pre-ban Elephant Tusk Ivory that was inlayed in the end of the handle. I also made a custom leather sheath for this knife to be carried on a waist belt.

Thanks for looking,
