ATS-34 blade, integral 416SS bolsters and liners w/filework. MOP scales.

Some of you may have seen this little beauty on John's table at BLADE. Sweet! Ray Cover Jr.'s engraving is seriously good too. Interesting style if you look at it carefully - very nicely done.

Yes, very nice indeed, the knife, engraving and photo.

What is the knife sitting on in the background?

Thanks for showing.

That is a pair that would be hard to beat. John Perry does fantastic work and Ray Cover's engraving is about as good as it gets.

Thanks for posting it and congratulations on having it.

Well-captured, indeed! Yes, the first of the three images is my favorite and really is a great composition.

Blade engraving is rare nowadays. It was something more popular in the eighties. Done tastefully (like here), it adds to the package.

A truly outstanding folder Buddy.

I prefer the photo with the plain black background as I find the tiles compete with the knife for my attention in the other two.

Like Coop, I really like blade engraving when done tastefully. I've probably seen as many examples that took away form a piece as which added. Here it definitely adds.
 
John's designs and execution are so exquisite, and the engraving on this is a match. Thanks for the photo looks, Buddy.
