I've been drooling over this folder for two years. I finally got to see it in person at Blade and it was one heck
of a substantial piece - and looked as outstanding as the images. Not small, with a four inch blade by
Joe (full of guitars) and 9.5 inches long. And yes, the colors do actually "pop" that much. Some excellent
imaging by Coop.
I met Joe Olson at the Pasadena, Ca show some five or six years ago when working at a table next to his, so
knew of his love of both knives and guitars. His damascus and his colorful artform did their magic this year at
Blade, so I had to grab it. Thanks Paul, and thanks, Joe!

EDIT: Forgot to mention, there's a good article on Joe and his art in the Jan, 2011 issue of Blade, which includes
an explanation of the method used to achieve the "enameled" art.
