Armadillo Shell and Mokume Slipjoint

[Ruben Calo]

Another one for a customer. He wanted me to surprise him with a design of my own and this is what I came up with.

4 3/16" acid etched, diferentially HT'd D2 blade. 3/16" thickness. Overall length 10"
Stainless steel liners. Nickel silver and copper mokume bolsters, laquered young armadillo shell scales. Fileworked bronze screws and SS pivot. Filework also on spine. Leather sheath.

This one (as well as all other recent ones) has a ball bearing system inside the blade, for extra smooth operation and added balance.

I hope you like it!

That is a beautiful knife. Artistic yet rugged enough looking to useful. Very nice.
