BLACKWOOD
The knife was priced at $1650 from Empire. I am offering it at below direct from maker cost (1450 from Blackwood) at $1350 > 1250 > 1150 net to your door with full insurance and padded case.
The annodization of this knife provides amazing purples and blues with a hint of green on top of the overall bronze anno. The blade is super sharp and features a hand rubbed finish by black wood. Look at the original photos, there are some micro striations in the blade right at the cutting bevel at one spot that came from Blackwood and you can see in Empire's photos - you can only see it from one direction, I cannot shoot them because they are so small which is why Empire's photos give an honest look and you need to look at the other photos to see they disappear - you have to be on a micro hunt to see the striation. They do not detract and there is no functional problem, the knife is pretty much perfect. Flipping is incredible smooth and fast for this long blade. Zero blade play with early lock up. This knife is very high quality. The timascus backspacer is very unique and sets off all the colors you get on the titanium scales.
OAL - 9.375" / Blade - 4.125" Elmax
Handle - 5.125" Titanium with outrageous timascus backspacer
