Damascus liner-lock folder...

Dealer - Purveyor
This is a folder I took to Seattle with me. It sold Saturday pretty early in the show. Stayed on the table for awhile and I got a lot of good feedback on it. I made a matching damascus pocket clip for it which, I somehow neglected to photograph so no pics of that. Sorry. :)

Specs:
My own damascus steel of 1084 and 15n20
3 1/4" blade, 4 1/8" closed, .130" thick at the ricasso
Full distal taper and false edge
Rounded spine ahead of the thumb grip area
.065" Jeweled and fileworked titanium liners
Matching damascus thumbstud and file-fullered backspacer
Silver twill g-10 bolsters
Black g-10 scales
Titanium pivot screws and scale screws
Bronze washers
Solid lockup and smooth action

All comments and discussion welcome.













 
I want to comment on every pic you post, but I don't on most of them anymore. Reason, I've ran out of adjectives to use, awesome, amazing, unbelievable, stunning, unique, gorgeous, etc.

This knife is simply stunning. Beautiful but not overly ornate. I can actually see myself carrying a knife like this one.

To the trained eye, you can see all the work it took to complete it. I can appreciate that part of the "art" form.

It is a wonderful piece.

A question for you, John: If you were to make this knife again, or use it as a prototype, for your own knife, what, if anything, would you change?

I'm probing here to see how your artistic mind travels once a "perfect knife" is out your door.
