Not my terminology, but you're not staying on track. Small hint... I got it from a buddy of mine who is a custom knife maker.

All right, my curiosity is too piqued at this point.  I'm going into my lab to go through the giraffe bones...

Won't help.

Is it worm grooved?
If you never have time to do it right, you'll always have time to do it over.

The word I was looking for was 'jigged'. It's an artificial 'grooving' process. Man made, but natural material. I'm impressed! I would have bet my last dollar nobody would have got it. Well done! Send me a PM, and I'll keep good on my promise.

Here's a picture of the knife I got from my buddy that has jigged Giraffe shin bone scales. He gave me some extra slabs of this bone to do some tips.

You sanded it?

You are right. To bring out the contrast, the surface is sanded.

That is gorgeous!

It's just as well. I've yet to do any tip overlays yet anyway. Ifrit might actually get around to using them this year.
