Dreams DO Happen....

[Dawkind]

I got this glorious Spartan Folder yesterday from Raphael Durand, thanks to my Brother Sam Lurquin with additional kudos going to Brother Joe Paranee for introducing me to such a wonderful group of Makers over the years.

Mrs. Durand made the superb, fully lined, Sharkskin sheath, and Sam forged the high-layer Damascus billet for the blade. It's a linerless lockback, 5" closed, 8 3/4" OAL, with a 3 3/4" blade. Stellar craftsmanship accentuated by incredible detail....file-worked fasteners, thumb-disc,and lock-release, along with domed pins, and exceptional handle sculpting. The grinds, fit, finish, lock-up, action, etc., are virtual perfection,, too.

Just a slight Family Resemblance?

Nice details, I especially like the thumbdisk treatment, ie, the tiny filework around the edge.
