I had the pleasure of flying up to Darrel's shop in Ohio to spend a long weekend (along with Dexter Ewing, as well as Kevin Pensinger from The Edge Equipment) helping to create this double-action EDC. This has a 3.5" 420V blade with a hand-rubbed finish (that took a whole freakin' day to apply!) I did all of the anodizing and heat coloring of the clip and screws, texturing of the screw heads and handles, and the "nugget" work in the design grooves. I jeweled the inside of the titanium handles. I drilled holes. I screwed up. I fixed my screw-ups - with Darrel's help, of course. I put the knife together. I took the knife apart. I put the knife together. I took the knife apart. I put the knife together... Well, you get the idea. All-in-all it was a fantastic trip. It was great meeting Kevin finally. Darrel and fis family were great hosts. It was fun to have a hand in making a knife like this as well. Hope y'all like it.
