Mokume bolsters
Perfectly done polished lightning strike carbon fiber scales; it's 100% smooth and I can't feel any of the wires at all
Orange-peeled liners

Glass smooth action, perfect centering, and lockup is about as solid as it gets
Feels great in hand

Has Thorburn's signature action, fires open instantly and with a nice snap
Drop point blade with a hand rubbed satin

3. John w Smith F5 Flipper - brand new
4" blade with a flawless hand satin finish and perfectly symmetrical grinds
Ti bolsters
Contoured and lightly textured black G-10 scales
Seamless transitions between materials

Centering slightly favors the lockside but doesn't come close to rubbing
