Custom Damascus and Ivory Swinguard folder

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

This is my first Swinguard folder. The blade is forged to shape Daryl Meier Turkish twist damascus. Devin Thomas ladder pattern damascus swinguards and my own radial pattern mosaic damascus bolsters. The scales are antique elephant ivory. The backbar, liners and thumbstud are fully fileworked. All the bolster and pivot screws have been hidden. There is an abalone inlay in the backbar. Precision fit, finish and lockup.

Chuck, your file-work is always outstanding. It really
makes the knife something special.
