A fine piece indeed, do not think I have ever seen that combo before. I wish they had a shot of the springs. His filework is outstanding, if that one is filed.

Boy, that is one smoothie! Sunk joints, blades all nestled, subtle file work; an interesting and creative interpretation of a Canoe. That knife rows my boat!!

That is an absolutely amazing piece of beauty! Goofy, is it yours? My compliments to the maker.

I've seen a picture of that one, or one very similar somewhere and I was smitten. I really like the looks of that. It would be in my pocket so fast! Thanks for posting it!

On top of all that, the fire roasted stag is outstanding too.

I'd say that knife is smooth as a gravy sandwich.
A real work of art.
Can't stop looking at it.
