Very nice knife Franco. I love amber stag and you did not disappoint with this one! Congratulations on the award it is well deserved.

I do have a question for you. Your gold spacer is that solid gold? I was just looking at a knife by Bruce Bump which also used a gold space and I was curious if it was solid or gold plated.

Hello friends!
Mr. Buckberg , mr.Nuckels and mr. Jelio.. thank´s very much for your comments!!! they are very important to me!
Mr. Clint, thank´s for your comment! the gold is a inlay on ferrule, the wire have 1 mm x 1 mm, and goes around the ferrule.
Best regards,
Franco.
 
Thanks Franco, it never dawned on me that it could be an inlay! I was thinking it was a solid spacer and thought that would be expensive.

Thank´s very much my dear brother Eduardo Berardo. I´m very happy with your comment!
Thank´s Ben, hopeful to see you again on the next blade show!
Mr. Clint , if i put solid gold, the price of this knife will be very expensive...with inlay, have a beauty detail and an interesting value!
But if the project demands solid, i will put solid gold... no problem!!
Thank´s Friends!!
Best regards,
Franco.
