This is a filet knife id did as a Christmas present for my oldest son. The blade is Norwegian steel and the scales are white Corian. The image is that of a flats fisherman and approaching thunderheads; a scene common here on the west coast of Florida.

Reel Detail

The Seeing Hand
This was an ivory medallion about 1 ½ inches in diameter. The client asked for this image. The “Hand of Fatima”, or the “Hand of Miriam” as it is known in the middle east is an image found around the world in various cultures. Here it is a Mesoamerican interpretation where the hand is encircled in two rattlesnakes who are themselves intertwined.
