Badger Knife #4 - Dale Reif Folder

[Brian_Turner]

This folder is by Dale Reif. The blade and bolster are by George Werth. The handle is ivory, with gold screws and gold plated pivot. The thumbstud is gold with a ruby inlay. The backspacer features three large gold inlays. There is filework and texturing everywhere. The liners are anodized with the coolest iridescant coloring you've ever seen, which shifts through the aquas and purples as the knife is turned in the light. The knife's lockup is perfect.

This image tries to capture the backspacer, and fails pretty miserably.

Dale does some very nice knife work. Got to check this and a few more of his custom's out at Janesville. Top notch! Also enjoyed drinking beer with you guys at Damon's! Ever need anything Brian, just send me an email and come on over since were neighbors!
