Gnarly Stag and Damascus Flipper! (sold)

[Alan Davis Knives]

The overall length is 9", blade cutting edge is 3 1/2", blade width is 1 3/16", and thickness is .150". The blade material is my own damascus out of 1084 and 15N20 that I hand forged with a hammer and anvil as I do not have a power hammer or press yet, I forged the blade to shape and then finished the flat grind by stock removal. The dovetailed bolsters are Alabama damascus, the scales are premium gnarly sanbar stag, the liners are titanium and so are the spacers which are hand turned on a wood lathe. Perfect detent, strong lockup, blade is centered, zero blade play in any direction and the flipper action( powered by micro bearings) only requires that enough pressure is applied that you move the blade past the detent to open, smooth as silk. There is file work on blade spine, spine of liners and lock release. Sold. Thanks, Alan

Alan,
Another great looking knife. One of these days I will get one with micro bearings. Looks similar to the one I just received from you. Keep up the fine work.
