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! ![tip hat :tiphat: :tiphat:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/cafe/tiphat.gif)
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!
