Dress Knife

[R Appleby]

This is a partial repost but, I am very please with the way the whole project turned out. The effect of the tortoise shell celluloid on the gold leaf is absolutely amazing like forced air through hot coals. As for the belt clip, I wanted to try something a little different and more user friendly. Simply depress the lever with your thumb and slide the clip where you want it, belt, pants pocket, coat pocket, even the front of your shirt and you don't bust your a$$ or tear up your fingers as with many boot and belt clips.

Hope you like the results.

A gorgeous knife priced way to low from what I can see. This is better than money in the bank, somebody should have already jumped on this.
Great job on that one, love the scales, and file work, also the slim overall design.

Absolutely gorgeous. If I still wore a suit every day it would be mine, though it would be a distraction because I would take it out to look at it 200 times a day.
