Man, I have been finding some different ones.... I have never seen so much work on a small knife, and it really comes together nicely. This is a MINT condition custom from Butch, with all the works (except it's a manual, and as such VERY RARE). This may be close to his Californian pattern, without the auto. The blade, bolsters, and back strap are all damascus and carved or fileworked. The titanium liners, and hardware are all fileworked as well. Even the inside of the strap and the bottom of the tang near the lock Lots of bells and whistles. Futed/carved bolster and gold lip pearl in clamshell design.The inside is stamped Butch Vallotton Custom Knives with the snake V. Lock up is perfect with with no blade movement.2.75" closed and a 2" blade. Let me know what you think
