First I would like to say not everyone will agree with my way of making a 2 bladed knife.
No spring extension, I would rather add the weight to beef in the secondary blade.
Secondary behind primary blade, for the years I carried multi blades I always got more use
out of the primary blade and always went for it first. Again this is just me.
A bit of a pocket worn look beginning on this one.
SPECS
Blades and springs Ats-34 Blades @ 61-62 Rc, cryo, .093 primary, .072 secondary.
Both blades 14" hollow grind, hand finished, drawn swedges.
Frame 416 soldered bolsters, 410 liners mill relieved, all hardware ss.
Scales my dyed and jigged bone, star shield is pinned.
Closed length 3 3/4, open length 6 3/4. Back is flush all 3 positions or any combination
of open, half stop, or closed. Crescent nail nicks both blades.
Both blades lay dead center.
Price $550 shipping and paypal included, shipped in a zipcase. SOLD
Comments welcome and Thanks for the look.
Ken.

As always Ken, your bone is just fantastic! I like everything you've done on this one. As Rob said, someone is going to be very lucky to get this one.
 
Dam! That looks great Ken! As always your bone just makes
it come together perfect! Congrats..

I live in fear of each new Ken Coats blade that shows up here as I feel compelled to buy them. Fit, finish and overall excellent quality make them a great value and a blade to both use and treasure. My only salvation on this one is not being a big fan of the swayback style.
 
I own and often carry one of Ken's two blade swaybacks. Without a doubt, someone is in for a great knife.
 
Gus your 2 blade swayback is the only other one I've ever made. Thanks for the comments guys.

Super knife Ken. I bet it was not easy to get the star shaped shield to seat so perfectly in the jigged bone. I guess you like challenges.
