This is a mint 4 closed folder by Butch Vallotton of Oakland, Oregon. The blade is 3 ¼, hollow ground Devon Thomas Spirograph stainless Damascus with a wonderful blued finish. The bolsters are blued Damascus of an entirely different pattern, file worked and just gorgeous. Fossil Bark mammoth ivory scales with nice color are attached to the titanium liners/ lock with file worked screws. The back of the blade, the liners and the backspacer are all file worked, the thumb stud has a real nice little ruby set in it. The knife has 2 ways to open, one with thumbstud manually..the other with the scale sliding release AUTO, and has a liner lock. Investment grade stuff here, one of the nicest knives Ive seen in years! $1300 OBO paypal, no fees
