"Kevin, I believe this is a Case Clasp pattern.  Handles are mammoth tooth with nickle silver spacers and MOP inlay."

Thanks for your very generous comments, Alec! I do play with paracord a little. Some of my lanyards I make myself and some I just make better by adding beads to lanyards made my someone else.

Have a great evening, my friend!

Thanks for your comments about my dad's knives. I wish I had more to post but I can't find the flash drive that has them on it. I'll start working on that as soon as I have time. Kind of cool you are a musician. I've been a singer all of my life. I've won a few competions and I know a few musicians in Branson. What's your genre.
