Yall know how much I like Darrel Ralph's knives. Here's a maker with Ralph for a front name. Ralph Freer fancy folder. He just sent the pics and NO it aint for trade or sale. He dressed this one up real nice. Nice filed spacer and liners. I may be wrong but it looke to have a stone in the thumb stud. I just love surprizes coming in the mail. Take a look if you have a minute. Thanks Ralph you did real good.

Thanks for the picture Ed. That is certainly a great looking knife.

I met Ralph and got a tour of his shop here in So. Cali. He's a great guy and his work is very good. For the work he does, the materials he uses and his reasonable prices I think his work is one of the best values out there. IMHO.

And if you like Ralph's work you might want to check out a guy by the name of Jeff Hall. Also a local Cali guy with some really nice designs and great prices. And just happens to be a great guy as well. He and Ralph are good friends. He's making a piece for me right now. I'll post pics when it's done.

Until then you can check out his website at http://www.nemesis-knives.com/ . Let me know what you think as I'll be seeing him soon.

Eric.

A few more pics of Ralphs knife. This is one fine knife. I wanted to get a few Pearl knives and I must say even though it's mine it is perfect. Thanks a bunch Ralph you outdid yourself. Don't even ask NO it aint for sale or trade. This is my first real nice Pearl folder. I have had a few Pearl but none come close to this one. The carving on the pearl adds alot to the knife IMO. The action is very smooth and the blade is dead center. The stone in the stud tops it all off. I am a happy camper tonight.

Hers the spec.
OAL is 6 & 1/4", closed 3 & 5/8", Damascus blade is 2 & 5/8" bolsters are 1 & 1/2" Damascus,scales are carved Mother of Pearl,fileworked blade,liners and backspacer,24K Gold plate screws,anodized liners Blue and Gold,2.75MM Ruby in thumb stud,completed date 5/08/01
