The handle inlay on the Galaxy knife is meteorite. It is very interesting stuff, with direct light, like in the picture it looks like a star field, but when you rotate it and view the material from an angle, it creates a rust red glow among the star field that looks every bit like a stelar scene, it is very cool.
So the theme was obvious, however, I had a vague recollection of one Ray Cover had done similar a few years ago so after designing this knife, I went on a web hunt and found his version to make certain I had taken a different approach. Which I had, but I wanted to make sure there were no coincidental likeness that could be viewed as a copy. Although I am a firm believer that everything we do has been done, to a certain degree, at some point in the past, I do like do try and put my own spin on things or at least avoid any accusations of copying.
Dave, I am not sure about that, but the heap you refer to, I am fairly sure is digested grass
Tim, Yep been chained to the bench, Kalyn threw away the key. Yeah same story been going to give you a ring, just have not done it.
Chris, a sure cure for cabin fever, take the trip to Reno. It really is a fun show. Better than Blade, and Blade is enjoyable.
