great looking folder Calvin. something for all of us beginners to look up to. one question though... wheres the nail nic? :biggrin: Erik

Great job Ben. I've grown to expect nothing less from you. How'd you like working with the CPM 154? Erik

Great looking folder for only your third one. Love the look of the rosewood and bone together. Think I'll have to try the cold bluing on folder too Can't wait to see your next folder! Erik

Love the folder Calven, but the last way I'd describe it is "plain Jane" Nice lines. Erik
