This is the second of two knives recently purchased from Jose de Braga at the CKG show about a month ago which are included in the new David Darom Fixed Blade knife book.

Jose calls this the Fromalhaut Fantasy City Knife. The 4 1/2" ATS34 blade has a modest amount of file work on the spine and is adorned with fine silver and bronze sleeve and guard.

The handle and sheath are made of Lacewood with fine silver fittings and bronze frog with jet/bronze composite inlay. The lacewood is also inayed with jet/bronze composite which provides a nice OAL including sheath of 8 3/4".

The Lacewood handlle is not only inlayed with the bronze/jet composite but also has 2 onyx buttons set in fine silver and is also fully carved on all sides.

This is truly a spectacular work of art in steel.

Since I had the pleasure of handling this knife before Murray took the photos, I would say 'Amen!' to that! :)
 
I also got to play with that one and it is one impressive little knife. Congrats Murray!

Thanks guys. I'm lucky too as I get to play with all of the knives that Roger has. We get to have knife show and tell a lot and it is fun. We get to take lots of photos of knives too.
