Stabilized blocks, buckeye, maple, redwood

To my knife loving friends. Here are pics of a knife gifted to me by long time wood buddy and knife maker Bill Clancy. Bill makes awesome puukko knives that originated in Finland and records show in use for 1000 years. This one is a larger version called a leuku, a utility knife for any purpose. History of these knives is very interesting. The two end pieces are stabilized redwood burl and the middle is layered and compressed birch bark. Original sheathes were birchbark too. This sheath style is not made for carrying on a belt so much but to protect the knife if in a daypack, etc. Pics show it pretty well.....flawless workmanship......definitely a treasure. Thanks Bill.
Puukko info here...worth a read: Puukko - Wikipedia

Beautiful knife made by wood buddy knife maker Andrew Sano from San Francisco. Made with stabilized bigleaf maple block like some posted below. Thank you Andrew for sharing the pics.

Below see a couple pics of a knife made by Pablo E Untroib, knife maker in Argentina. A valued customer and friend who used some of my stabilized buckeye burl for this beautiful knife. Thanks for sharing the pics Pablo.

Gun grips below made by resin casting some of my wood by Jason Sumpter. He makes amazing gun grips and knife scales. If ya want some but don't have time to cast 'em, let me know...I"ll get you in touch with Jason.
