Ilio,
Great looking knife! How did you get the texture on the stainless? Also, do you make your pivot screws or buy them? If you buy them, where from?
Thanks

I wanted to ask the same thing, how did you get that finish/texture on the stainless handle?

Also can we see the other side of the knife? Or maybe some shots at angles that show us things like its spine or how thick the knife is.

I make the texture by painting on the stainless. The next step is drawing with a needle and then i do electrochemical etching.
I make the pivot screws.

Here's a picture of the other side of the knife and a video. Sorry for the bad quality.

Awesome! Thank you for sharing that with us. That surface finish is very cool. It turns a stainless steel surface into something very compelling, like titanium. Usually stainless steel isn't a desireable handle material, your treatment makes it very desireable, atleast to me.

How durable is the finish on the stainless steel body?

The finish is applied in depth and practically it doesn't change.
