Very nice action!
I particularly like the way the overall shape, plus the inlay, lengthens the apparent blade/handle ratio !
Many times lock backs lack this look - yours almost looks like a sleek fixed blade with a blade longer than handle :thumbsup::thumbsup:

that inlay looks very close to real abalone too.
 
that is something to be proud of. I am not personally in for the bold colors on the scales, but I recognize the craftsmanship needed to make the knife. Everything else about it is just perfect. I would simply (if I could afford to order/ask for one) request different colors on the scales. Not a criticism. I love the knife, and I respect the work that went into making it. Great skills.
 
The buyer wanted a semi-horizontal,cross draw style sheath for it as well,one that's not too bulky,so this is what I came up with,simple but effective me thinks,figured I'd share that as well ;)
Cheers
