Hello,
This was my last knife of 2014.

The blade is 4-7/8in long made of Darryl Meier Turkish twist Damascus that I forged to shape and both bevels are hollow ground.

The front, center and rear bolsters are zirconium and I fluted the center bolsters.

The scales are presentation grade blacklip pearl with excellent color and fire.

The back spacer is damascus and it opens with a 14K gold thumb stud.

I fileworked the liners on both sides of the knife and I anodized liners anodized gold.

The overall length open is 10-5/8in and closed it is 5-7/8in.

I hid the pivot screws for a cleaner look, heat colored and indexed all the screws that are showing.

Precision fit, finish, lockup and action.

Thank you for looking,

Chuck
 
Cool knife. WIth a blade that long its probably fun to thumb open. I like the way you did the filework too.
 
I also really dig the file work.
And good job on indexing all those screws. :thumbup: :thumbup:
There is a lot to like about that knife, Chuck.
 
Can't put my finger on it but it reminds me somewhat of the Art Deco style. Really nice knife and tasteful to my eyes.
