LS-2 Blued framelock, CLASSTICAL?

[Frank Fischer]

I have combined a little old school with a bit of the new to come up with this "classtical" set-up yet again. It's a titanium framelock with blued carbon damascus and premium mammoth ivory bark. The damascus is 1095/15n20 and made by my father. I hand sanded the blade and spine to 1200 grit and buffed them to a high polish before giving them the soup treatment over at Stan Wilson's place. The mammoth sits in a milled out pocket between the double integral S bolsters. The frames are orange peeled and heat colored a light tint of gold. The hardware is gold plated stainless. I feel this knife is esthetically balanced, I sure hope the customer feels the same way... This one is off to Russia!

The knife was impossible to shoot, you can see the reflection of the wrinkles inside of the photo hut on the blade and mammoth... errrr! But it's all I'm left with now.

I'm willing to bet that handsome knife has a blade that is app. 3 3/4" with an oal at 8 3/4".
Am I close, Frank? :3:
