Shark

[webmonk]

I made this for a friend that was chased by a 5 foot lemon shark while spear fishing. Fortunately, he was the one swimming with the bag of fish so the shark wasn't too interested in me.

The material is shark skin that has been dyed a burgundy color.

Never had a problem yet Phil, they are already cast into pen blanks before they ship them to me. May be different if it was whole skins.[]

Thanks for the compliments!

@Darley:
I'm not sure about that, but the seam is in the picture already. It's just below the clip there. It's small enough and the color is such that it's not easy to see even when you're holding it.

@Chuck:
Nope, but check out http://www.glimmerznmore.com/shop/ That's where I got this one. I've also turned their MoonGlo which was interesting stuff.
