Beautiful Mark as always, the jade really sets it off. Too cool. Man that blade is a masterpiece. Nice stand and antler uprights to hold the knife. Bet it feels good in the hand. mike

Beautiful Mark!
Some Deer hunter should give you a premium for this piece of art..
That piece of Turquoise sure looks nice with bone, it greatly enhances the handle.
