I did some trading with Ken for some knives, this man sure is talented! I wanted a couple of knives with some Snake River Agate from mine and Jason's claim. He sent two Buck 110's that are almost a matching pair! This one has file work on it and is signed by Alfred C. Buck his self! I wanted some for Christmas presents so this is what he sent me Mtech with Crazy Lace Dakota with Jade Dakota with Onyx Buck with Labradorite (VERY NICE!!) Thanks Ken, I think I got the better end of this trade! Merry Christmas.........................Tony

No offense to Mr. Buck, but the stone handles made by Ken took the stage of that knife, despite the beautiful file work. Two artists added their contribution in the creation of such a beautuful thing and maybe it's not by chance that it went to such a deserving owner. The crazy lace knife is also a beauty. Tony, do you still have rocks in your yard? after trading those beauties you definetely have much less of them Adrian

I'm a bit of a knife fanatic myself and those are just flat out beautiful! I like them all but man that signed Buck with those dendritic handles has me drooling all over my keyboard....Mel

See Tony. I knew you could do a better job of posting pictures than I could. Mine NEVER turn out like that.
Mel...now you know what it takes. Have slabs.....will trade. Always looking for GOOD, fracture free slabs.

Magnificent work. I'm sure a lot of rock went Ken's way, but not enough to dent that pile of yours. Thanks for the pix.
