AKI 2009, my score...

[HTMD]

I got to handle STeven's JWSmith folder at AKI and it is for sure one sweet knife - beautiful, and pleasingly light, as STeven described - a very desirable piece of functional edged art.

What wonderful craftsmanship.

Congratulations STeven. Mr. Smith makes IMPRESSIVE knives from tacticals to highly adorned "gentleman's" folders. Interesting how he removed weight from the bolsters...makes a LOT of sense.

Beautiful knife STeven! The dimensions you give make it sound like the perfect combination between working size and "not too big" for the pocket feel. Enjoy that beautiful knife!

Smith makes a fantastic knife. Those carved mop scales are what make this knife extra special for my liking.

Nice score, STeven. I really like that shape of the blade and the damascus pattern.:thumbup:

STeven- id really like to see the colors on that knife. At any point would you be willing to mess around with a sheet of paper under the sunlight to get some soft light on it?

No, but I'll bring it to Blade next year, you can play with it all you want.

I hate taking pictures, that is why my wife does it for me.

Best Regards,

Haha, sounds good.

Is the blade blued and colored a bit like usual?

No, the blade is deeply etched and lightly buffed....by me!
