Esnyx ES-N-TL Swell End Jack in Osage Orange

[esnyx]

This knife is part of my "ES-N-TL" line. The difference between this and a full custom Esnyx is that the blade and spring were water jet cut as part of a batch order, and the heat treatment was outsourced to Peters' Heat Treat. The pattern is my design, and was cut to spec on a prototype I sent for them to copy. Besides that, the rest of the knife is fully hand-made, and is the same quality as one of my custom pieces. I placed this order to be able to sell these knives at a more affordable cost than my full customs.

Beautiful work Evan and one of the finest shields - I like the bolster work and the use of natural handle materials, which seems to be getting less common with some makers.

Very traditional look. I nearly said I'll ---- --, but, just spending too much lately.

Well well done ! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
