As beautiful as is it, and as much as I like it, I just don't find myself carrying neckers much. Mitchell has stopped taking orders so here's your chance to snag what I think is his coolest design.

It's called the Mini Ocular, wrapped handle with red rayskin, his signature "rorschach" finish. It is in like new condition except some scratches from the kydex sheath (pictured). Otherwise this hasn't been carried or used to cut. I also don't have his nylon necklace thingy. I have copied and pasted his specs:

"This is the mini version of my "Ocular" model. While small, these are more than capable of performing the vast majority of EDC tasks. These are particularly well suited for neck or pocket carry.

The blade is made from precision ground 1/8" A2 steel. I performed all heat treat and tempering operations. The blade is tempered to 61 - 62 HRC for excellent edge holding characteristics.

This particular knife incorporates my "Rorschach" finish. I feel that this is an appropriate name, as everyone I show it to seems to see different things in the random pattern on the blade.

The wrap is nylon and is impregnated with epoxy to prevent unraveling or moisture retention. The under wrap is a choice piece of royal purple sting ray skin. I made the handle a bit longer, as it aids in the ability to control the knife for precision cuts.

The knife is ground with a chisel hollow grind for a right hand user. I have also ground a swedge along the spine that greatly aids penetration. The tip will penetrate at the slightest touch. The knife is extremely sharp; excellent edge geometry and a great cutter!

I'm asking $105...This price includes PP and shipping to the CONUS. Please add $15 for international and shipping at buyer's risk. Email is the best form of communication for me. Feel free to ask any questions.

His pics are better, this is from another Mini Ocular he made, just to give you an idea:
