Ryk is a huge fan of military history and wanted to do a piece that harkened back to the British SAS that went behind enemy lines in Iraq to destroy the mobile SCUD missile launchers. The world famous Slickster is wrapped in an Arab style shemagh and ready for action!

The Nano Beads are ultra tiny and great for adding onto zipper pulls etc. Keep in mind tough that the hole is also smaller. Basically large enough to squeeze one section of 550 cord through. Last picture compares nano bead to standard size bead.

About Starlingear Copper: Starlingear continues to be on the cutting edge of materials and design. Copper, while cheaper as a material than silver, is exponentially harder to cast and has a very large loss rate. Copper is an almost "organic" metal. Meaning, it will change colors and tone with use. This is part of the reason Ryk has started using it more as every piece tells a story. So, don't wet yer pants as your piece ages and develops its own patina and character.
