I hope it's ok to post this here, please let me know if not.
Saved this photo because I was really intrigued by this folder, I'm pretty sure it was from this sub forum- does anyone else remember seeing it? Would love to know who made it.
Thanks for any leads!

Looks a little like Raphaël Durand's style. If I were a betting man that's what I'd bet on.
 
Raphael Durand

His mark is that small circle by the spine....[emoji106]
 
Thank you all!
I don't have the knife, could only wish to handle it, but the concept intrigues me- the execution of the damascus blade grind is clean and striking, but I'm trying to work out the construction from photos.
From the maker's POV, it's fascinating that none of the pins that usually hold a knife together are showing- usually a slippie will use the spring pins to hold the scales on, but they're hidden.
The wideness of the blade down by the ricasso is also an unusual feature, and I love the lines of the heel, where the curve of the sheepsfoot blade dives right into the heel.
At first I assumed that the thing was held together with pivot and a flared lanyard tube, but the lanyard hole appears to be linerless.
Making my own version as practice and study, just to have and carry it, with hidden spring pins.
 
Definitely Durand as others have already stated. Love his work.

He has a good instagram feed as well.
 
Thanks, Mr Shaw!
Following him (and you), and there is the same pattern in the first page of his feed.
