Man is that nice.
Love that sexy clip (and blade).
Love the ivory.
Congrats Don and Anton ! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I didn't forget you Coop, great work as always. :cool:

Congratulations, Anton! Don has done an awesome job with A.G.'s medium folding hunter design. What's not to like! :thumbup: It looks like some cool, subtle grain action going on in the ivory. Great addition. As Jon states...classy.

^what he said.
 
OK, that's fantastic!

Somebody help me out here though. Even though this has none of Don's usual hallmarks (mind-bending Damascus, outstanding mammoth ivory, etc.), somehow I feel like I could identify it as Don's work even if the mark wasn't on the blade.

Why?

Man those are some sexy slipjoints. I love everything about both of those knives. Very elegant and classy but they look like they would be a joy to carry and make you smile every time you open it to use it.

Glad you see that, Joe. It was important to me that I make sure that aspect didn't get lost in the lighting. That's the real white ivory, not some fake synthetic antique micarta. ;) (Clack, clack!)

With or without that flute they both are superb. As expected.

Anton, THANK YOU for sending your knife my way and subsidizing this photo oportunity. Another real case of the collector going above and beyond in support of his maker's success. :thumbup:

Coop
 
That is a beautiful slipjoint. Don does fantastic work and this is another fine example. Coop's photos really are excellent and compliment the knife very well.

Congratulations on a real winner, Jon
 
Wonder if it's any better than a cheap yellow handle Case knife? ;) I know, I know, that's bad.

Anton, it was a pleasure working with you, and Coop did real good here. Many thanks to you both!

I appreciate all the good comments, guys!
