This is one of my Gents liner lock pocket knives. Yep pocket knife.. No clip. Just meant to fit nicely down in your pocket.
I call this light speed because of the way everything flows from the weaved 3-d carbon fiber handles, through the stars in the Damascus bolsters, into the elongated stars in the Damascus blade.
The carbon fiber in this knife was salvaged from a $60K retro fit of the MRI machine at my local hospital. The cool part about that is, I actually had several MRI's in that machine a few years back when I had my legs crushed. It's kinda cool that now I get to re-coop some of the money it cost me for those pictures.

The Damascus was made by me using 1084, 1095, w-1, and nickel powder.
The liners are titanium and the screws are stainless.
OAL open is 6 1/8". Closed is 3 3/8" with a 2 5/8" blade.
The action is as smooth as butter and the lock-up is rock solid..
Let me know what you think!!!

Please excuse what look like spots on the handle in the open photo. As you can see from the other photos, they are not really there. I'm not sure what happened in that shot!!

Price is $340 shipped conus

Thanks for looking!!!!

That thing is beautiful. I wish I had some more money right now, I'm tapped out from buying too many knives.
 
Hi Steven, that's beautiful! The story of the CF is really intriguing... having been MRIed myself a few times, I'm wondering if I ever get some piece of that monster machine! :-)))

Just a couple of points: the blade reminds me the small sebbie (and of course I like it very much!)... and the liner... it looks kinda "thin"... can you post a photo in the open position with the liner engaged? Thanks!

I'll try and get a couple more photos of it and put them up. The liners are .040 thick. I have built several of this style and have always used the same thickness ti. Never had a problem with any... This is a fairly small knife and thicker liners seem to make it look clunky without really adding any extra needed strength to the lock. :) :)
 
Dang Steve that is a beaut!! She realy does look like she's going light speed. That damascus is crazy cool!
 
Took my breath away when I saw the pics. Wish I had not committed myself to other purchases. Definitely fits my taste :)

Thank You!!

Unfortunately, I can not offer any reduction. I try and price all of my knives as low as I possibly can from the start.
The price is still $340 shipped conus


Thanks again,

Steve
 
I've fallen in love, I'll take it!
pm sent as well
 
It just came in the mail, and it's stunning to look at! The pattern in the blade reminds me of time lapse photography of stars, so your name is quite apt.

Feels great in my hand, this will definitely be getting carried.
Thanks for the great knife and super smooth transaction!
