Beautiful!

Is the small pin a blade-stop?

Yes it is

Pinemoon - you could cross 2 of these beauties over one of the doors on Moonrise. You'd be the terror of Sebago Lake - or much admired for your fine taste in all things sharp.

Good idea.

[Pinemoon]

Yes it is

Is the ring some sort of lock?

Hi Pinemoon,
You're right. It's used to pool the spring and close the knife.
Here you can find some details :

I have waited 3 years but it's enough!
I have just ordered my first one.
Almost the size of a GET #14
46 cm opened, with a 22 cm blade

A pocket knife ahahaaha

Thanks for clarifying.
Sharpening one of those must be interesting. But then again, the tip's gonna do the job whether the edge is sharp or dull

Are the screws on the back (spring) traditional? Or is the body a frame that uses a flat spring held in with those screws on the inside? Do they normally set up (proud) like that? I'd be very interested in seeing the various pieces and how they are constructed. If I was going to get fancy I'd build screws that either set flush with a countersink or ones that matched the filework and blended in better. But I say that not knowing the specifics of the build. Very interesting, and I'm going to add one of those to my "list".

Hello eisman,

As far as I know yes it's traditional.
Those screws are fixed on the wood or horn handle.
Those materials are not really stable. They change with the humidity in the air .
You can adjust the sping's position in case of retraction of the handle material .
The head of the screws is thick because they are not modern.

Thank you for your interest in this great artist .

These knives look like something from deep down in the ocean, beautiful and slightly monstrous

Magnificent Â. These knives are mesmerizing. They really do look like some deep sea denizen.
