Those are some beautiful whittlers! I'm having a couple worked up this year by Bob Picklesimer. I'll be sure to post some pics here. 1 with elk and another with rams horn.

<p>Those are some beautiful knives all of you have posted. I collect pre 2004 Schrades. A few years back I became acquainted with Herman Williams. He was Schrades in house customizer for 25 years. The red smooth bones are Schrades 1983 Heritage set. In 85-86 The barlow was replaced with the small jack which is one of my favorite patterns, the problem with just adding it to my set was it had an 85 shield and I could only find it in brown bone.

<p>I appreciate the craftsmanship and the beauty of the finished product, but when I combine fine materials to a working knife it becomes a safe queen. I used to think I had enough of those, but now my user selection is very abundant. It is time to research a high end customizer.</p>

I have no problem with rehandled knives, in fact I have worked with a custom maker who has reworked some Schrade 50tg handles for me with Mammoth tooth, Mother of Pearl and Water Buffalo horn. I currently have one up on ebay for sale. You can see pics there if you like. My ebay id is 'quanahparker1'. I'm having a couple of others rehandled as well by the same guy.<br />
So I have no problem with this and see this as an improvement if done correctly and professionally. It makes the knives more unique…

What treatment is used to make opal hard enough for knife handles. I would like to have one myself and would love to know the cost.

I have been buying Painted Pony and Yellowhorse knives for some time. I think they are beautiful works of art.
