Hey everyone, last one for this year :) Damascus blade, bronze handle with an integral backspacer, mokume inlay and pivot rings, 14kt gold pins, sterling silver and copper lanyard rings, heat colored stainless screws, milled titanium front plate, brass stop pin, 5" overall length, 2" blade length and 3 1/4" closed length. I recently bought a milling machine so cool features are now possible. Hope you guys like it!

Serge - You've had a memorable year of knives sir!
That's just the latest in a line of innovative, "cool" pieces you've produced recently. With this one however, I think the milled plate look out of place with the rest of the piece. It doesn't fit the style to my eye. That other face though, and the blade shape are very eye catching.

good call on the milling machine! Great knife Serge.
 
A man getting a milling machine is like a kid getting an Etch-a-Sketch. Have at it! ;)

A winner!

Cool stuff Serge, lots of neat features on this one! :thumbup:
 
Amazing knife there sir. I have always admired your work.

I actually like the milled "maze" design on the left scale, it gives it that biomechanoid look.
 
We see very little mokume gane on knives. Which is unfortunate. Combined with damascus, it is unparalleled beauty. I'm thinking it could be the next big thing, once the tactical, 10mm thick blade craze dies down a bit.
 
Weird.. but in a good way. Future and past combined. A relic of the future. Very cool.
 
Looks like a "Hobbit"! :) Your styles are among the most creative, and ingenious. One from another, always something new. Unorthodox and brilliant.

That's a great looking folder Serge! I can't wait to see what you come up with in 2013 :)
