WOW That is beautiful. The ironwood with the mokume really pops. Great pocket clip. Great pic too. Thanks for posting. What exactly is Mokume anyhow? Anyone know? ec

notdos · Jan 16, 2003

The way I understand it, Mokume is a blend of metals like nickel, copper and brass that have been heated up under pressure, then rolled out and made into what you see. I think it 's also done with fine metals like gold and silver,,,sorta like Damascus but no steel.
That explanation may be totally off base so feel free to correct me

That knife is in-freakin'-credible! Absolutely gorgeous! I have a Mini-Spitfire DA & a Slayer in Carbon Fiber that I had thought were pretty nice but that one of yours has given me an inferiority complex

- NOT! It is definitly a step up - Larry makes such a sweet knife & his pivot system is so smooth - I hope you're going to use that a little at least - if you are at Blade this year I would love to get a look at the knife. Great acquisition!
