I like it, that is some interesting Damascus. If they call it bacon, it can't be bad in my eyes. Nice job Mike. :thumbup:
 
Looks like a good amount of work went into that, looks pretty well built. I'm personally not a fan of the orange peel finish, but it seems to be the rage these days. I like the bacon damascus on the scales and clip, but it doesn't really work for me on the blade. I think that I would like the backspacer more if it was either a more interestingly milled or if it was just smooth/flush with the liners/scales. I also think, with the fairly streamlined design that a more flush pivot screw would work better. Is it running on bearings or washers? Aside from my aesthetic preferences, the only functional critique I have is the way the bevel terminates near the ricasso.
