Who made it?
And what is it?
Thanks,

Well, that explains why I like this! Champaign taste, pond water budget. Ha!This is one of my rarest knives, if not the rarest in my collection. A 1 of 1 Custom made by Ray Laconico. He describes it as a Bear sized Jasmine. It was made around the 2016-2017 timeframe and I acquired it around four years ago. It's in CTS-XHP, a favorite steel of mine as well:
