Here is a one-of-a-kind piece from JL Williams. This is the wharncliffe version of his popular Iceman model. It features a 3 1/2" handrubbed CPM 154 blade, and 8" OAL, and his trademark low-profile flipper. The flip action is excellent; there is no wrist action needed to flip this knife completely open in any position, even vertically.

Well, that's a study in clean simplicity. Slightly reminiscent of a Lochsa in it's cleanliness. (That's a compliment not a comparo.)

Lee has promised me a long-awaited knife later this year. I envy your collection, Ken!

I've heard it said that the English and the Americans are two great prople separated by a common language but waylandsmith said it all for me.
 
Its so simple and clean. I love it.
I cant tell where the blade stop is. Does it have a blade stop pin? It must be internal? Great idea!
 
I like the knife but it looks very much like a Leek to me and seem to have Leek inspiration. I know its made of better materials and F&F. If he designed or help designed the leek or this knife is pre-leek forgive the ignorance.
