Everyone's latest acquisitions!

This thing is interesting, easy to deploy, but retracting, the blade has a ramp where the detente ball rides and it feels like it wants to stay open for about 1/4 the retraction track - really dig the colors:

Oknife Drever. I’ve had a Mini Drever for a couple of years and liked it so much I put the Drever on the wish list. The price recently came down a good bit from what I recall it was, so my cheapskate self took over. This piece is even nicer than the Mini. Build is solid, smooth action opening and closing, and the G10 handles have a very subtle but cool texture. Overall a nice little pick-up.

Think those blade graphics/ coating would hold up to use ?

Looks like it’s actually some sort of mosaic damascus, so probably forged through.

Indeed Centermass Centermass the blade is hand forged damascus by the great Robert Eggerling; you might notice the pattern is the same, though reversed, on both sides of the blade. It doesn't wear off though patinas wonderfully, being carbon steel (1095 and 15N20)

I've used his steel for years, always sharpens to a razor and holds an edge well!

The bottom long piece was used for the blade and the top piece for the inlays (the balisong is by Hovaere also)

His forge and where he cuts the blanks from the slabs (note the pile of steel dust)
