Just picked up a Halfrich LB5, and it is an amazing folder. A full size folder 4.5" closed, with a 3.25" blade, yet because of the construction and materials, this knife weighs only 2.5 oz. Ergonomic, hand-filling, and graceful all at the same time. This is clearly intended to be a working knife, yet Jerry's level of fit and finish is very high. The materials adjoin each other seamlessly and the tang and blade look and feel like a fixed blade when opened. Oh yes, the blade is very sharp.

I am quite impressed with this maker and his work.

The CF handle is not the least bit mottled, my picture taking skills are wanting.

Great score! Jerry's LB5 is one of my favorite carry knives. He hit a home run with this one. Congrats!

I have 3 folders from Jerry, including an LB5 - love 'em all. He makes a great knife.
 
There's not much that can't be field dressed with an LB5, it's a workhorse.
