I bought this on the Makers FS ,here in BF's ,prior to Christmas.
I need to part with it.I paid $325 it's a pretty cool piece.
This is a Rev. War folder by Billy Watson
A few words from the maker :
"Rev-war style damascus folder, Camel Bone scales, blade length about 3 3/4" in the open position around 8 3/4". Similiar to the folder used in the 18th century, only better. 176 layers of 1095 and nickel damascus steel made in my blacksmith shop. Heat treated to 59 rockwell hardness"
It has a few marks on the German Silver bolsters.Bolsters are dovetailed. Camel bone is gorgeous. Blade lays off center a hair , closed,but does not rub. It has half stops & the action is a solid "ka-klunk",firm & similar to 100 plus year old large folders.Blade is about 1/8" thick at spine & is swedged real nice!It feels great in the hand. Awesome blade & just a real cool folder
