Introducing the Chameleon (opinions wanted)

I was pleasantly surprised when I got this in with my shipment of Brazilian made knives. My initial impressions are quite favorable. What do you guys think?

That is one good looking folder! What are the specs on it? It seems you have found some wonderful knifemakers down there in Brazil. Keep the pictures coming!

Very nice. I really like the shape of and grind lines on the blade. The overall knife looks great as well.

7 7/8" overall with a blade of 3 1/2". It has a massive liner and feels great in the hands thanks to the contoured scales.

I feel really blessed to have found makers that are such artisans and with a great price to boot.

I will tell you that having these folders go through my hands without keeping them all is very hard. Sometimes being a knifeknut is a real bitch.

Looks like I am not the only one to discover the Brazilian makers.

Michael Aos just advised me that Roberto & Ricardo Lala
won the "Grand Trophy" at the first Brazilian knife show -- mentioned
8/01 Knives Illustrated.

I wanna call your attention to the liners. They are made of titanium and have that kind of orange peel
finish. The slabs are black G-10 but soon blue G-10 will also be available. It will give a better color
combination to this folder.
