Hi everyone. Some of you saw parts of this in Reno, but I thought I'd post the finished piece. I'd like to say thank you to the William Henry company for the opportunity to do this work. I really commend them for reaching out to so many engravers and producing so many wonderfully unique knives!
It was the pattern of the engraving that influenced my design for the scrimshaw. The bolsters were already engraved, and I immediately thought "jungle" when I saw them. I was eager to put a colorful subject on there, and the shape of the gold inlay lent itself well to a tree branch composition.

I was unable to photograph the completed knife because I never handled the whole knife, I just had parts, but this shows the scrim color a little more accurately:
I look forward to more. :banana: Thanks for looking!
