Another Collaboration: Ron Lake / CAS Hanwei

Wow, I saw these a while ago in the AG Russel catolouge. Just perusing it without looking at brands I remember thinking that is the most beutiful knife of the bunch. The. Saw the brand and the price and I was a but confused. But I think I may need to reconsider
 
As a note, CAS Iberia and CAS Hanwei are related so to speak--CAS Iberia was the US importer and marketer of Hanwei's swords. Hanwei's founder, Paul Chen, bought them outright a few years ago to found CAS Hanwei. This gave him a bit more control over his access to the market, and what sorts of pieces he made for sale here. The quality of Hanwei's work has gone up by leaps and bounds in recent years.
 
Hanwei has a folding fillet knife that is seriously cool - it has a blade guard that extends and retracts as you close and open the knife. Similar concept to the Marbles safety hunter except it's linear - simply sliding in and out of the handle.
