Mini Falcon....

 

[LizardKing]

great knives.

Is the Mini Operator by Andre DeVilliers related to the Pirela?

 

[Firebat]

Thanks LizardKing-

The Ishazi was designed by Pirela, but made by DeVilliers. This one is a small version of Andre's Operator model, which is his own design.

So they are related only by the fact that Andre makes both of them.

[Atomic Zero]

That's a beautiful Devilliers. What's the blade length?

Zero

 

[cpirtle]

Atomic 0, I think it's 3" on blade length.

Hey Firebat, is the annodizing on the ADV color coordinated with the scales? ....

 

[Firebat]

cpirtle's got it...it's a 3" blade.

Sometimes the scales look like they've got a hint of purple in them, and sometimes they look grey/green/black. Depends on the light.

Speaking of the scales, we have a cat who goes absolutely batty when I let her sniff the scales. I can't smell a damn thing on them, but she'll paw at it when it's clipped to my pocket until I set it out for her to smell. Her ears slick back and her eyes slip from typical housecat stare into this mean looking Discovery channel-esque predator gaze.

Kind of creepy actually.... lol!
