I thought I'd share a few pics of the Allen Elishewitz Anubis I received today. It's got a 3.5" RWL powder stainless blade and a titanium frame lock with rough-finished carbon fiber onlays. It's ground to a very thin, extremely sharp edge. I have no experience with this steel, but it will certainly be able to handle the light duty it will see with me.

Allen has a lot of designs that I don't really find appealling, but this one really hit home with me. I love the dropped point, and it's got just a hint of a recurve.

The pictures are from the seller, OnlyFineKnives.com.

RWL-34 is a top notch steel.

My favorite version of this knife is the one on his website with the ironwood handle, but this one is nice as well.
 
I don't yet own any of his knives but I've handled a few and his fit and finish are absolutely outstanding. He's also a helluva a nice guy to talk to. I'm planning on adding one of his knives to my collection just as soon as I can convince him to make it for me... :)
 
That is a sweet Elishewitz!! I klike that Anubis myslelf. I have been looking at it periodically. CONGRATS!!
I got my first Elishewitz from Only Fine Knives too!!
 
Knives are always works of art, and in the few emails I've exchanged with Allen, he has always been super cool.
 
Allen is an outstanding maker and individual, you cannot go wrong with any of his current production. They are top notch. He is one of the few tactical makers that can really blend tactical and dress and come up with an excellent EDC.

I wish he would make some larger folders and bring back the bolster lock. A good concept for sure.

Allens folders have always had a distinctive look. You just know one when you see one. Err, what is the origin of this models namesake?

From Wikipedia:


Anubis is the Greek name for the ancient jackal-headed god of the dead in Egyptian mythology whose hieroglyphic version is more accurately spelled Anpu (also Anup, Anupu, Wip, Ienpw, Inepu, Yinepu,"Inpu", or Inpw). He is also known as Sekhem Em Pet. Prayers to Anubis have been found carved on the most ancient tombs in Egypt; indeed, the Unas text (line 70) associates him with the Eye of Horus. He serves as both a guide of the recently departed and a guardian of the dead. He is god of mummification.
