Dear friends, I would like to show you one of the last knives I made, it is a lock back folder, with a mosaic damascus blade (turtles) damascus bolsters and ancient tortoise shell handle.

That's an incredible piece. I especially like the shaping of the scales, gorgeous work.
 
I'm not one for tortoise shell scales, as it's rare to see it executed properly.

This knife is the exception! Absolutely stunning knife!
 
The whole knife is very nice, the one thing I would like to point out is the time and effort you put into clocking the slots of the screws. I think if screws are going to be used on a knife they should be used exactly as you did. :thumbup:
