Damascus with gold inlay. The handle is carved mammoth ivory over
abalone.

 Dueling Dragons This dragon folder won "Best of Show"
in 2002 at the Oregon Knife Makers Show. It's a good example of the dragon
series with its picture mosaic blade and reptilian style of carving and file work.

 Last Bat
The Last Bat is the final folder I made in this series. The handle
is carved mammoth and fossil walrus ivory. Its blade and bolster are
picture mosaic. There is extensive carving throughout this piece. I
am planning a new bat series with different mosaics.

 Footprints

 Bats In The Night
This is a quintessential batwing folder, which I have been making for years. It seemed appropriate to feature bats in them. This example has gold inlay and a carved mammoth ivory handle.
