Porter Rockwell was a controversial Western figure who embodied the Old Testament ethos of an “Eye for an Eye.” He was given the moniker of “Destroying Angel,” and by some accounts believed to be a frontier Samson with protective powers attributed to his long hair.
About Paul Bunyan Agate
Paul Bunyan agate exhibits magnificent "plumey" spires of brick red against a white background with black and gray accents. This material was actively gathered by rockhounds in the Southern California region for many years as a public access deposit. It has since been put under private claim and is currently inactive, so the material is becoming very hard to obtain. It is a unique agate material, polishes beautifully, and adds personality to any collection.

Movie Quote, “Rules,..in a Knife Fight?!! No Rules!” If you know the quote, then you can appreciate the associated reference.
About Fire Palm
Fossilized palm wood is an extinct genus of palm that lived 83 million years ago, with fossilized rod structures that run as grain from petrified silica which have replaced the tree’s woody tissues. When cutting the stone, the orientation of these structures determines whether they appear as spots, lines, or tapering rods. This knife features an extremely unique instance of “Fire Palm,” with exquisite reds and yellows resembling the dancing tendrils of an open flame.

“Old Ephraim” was the name given to what might have been the last Grizzly bear in Utah. Old Ephraim was killed in 1923, a bounty on his head for being the cause of sheep and livestock deprivation. He stood 10 feet tall, and a similarly tall marker stands today in Logan Canyon, Utah, honoring this fallen beast and marking the end of an era.
About Shrinkwood
Shrinkwood is a petrified wood that became fragmented after preservation, but with small cavities that were subsequently, and naturally glued back together by silica-rich fluids. The patterns of this particular selection of shrink wood have the appearance of ancient dragon scales, with a brown base offset by mixed white and yellow highlights. The Dark brown patterns are reminiscent of the strength and armor that nature builds into its wild animal offspring.
