I've got another thread going in the production sales forum, but I also have stuff to offer here:
Allen Elishewitz - I got this knife from CommodoreWheeler a while back. Odin's Eye pattern Damasteel blade, with blue anodized, engine turned titanium liners and gold plated screws. The handle is sculpted carbon fiber, with contoured finger grooves. Really pretty, and with first-rate fit and finish. Lockup is spectacular, as is the opening action.
Pictures are courtesy of CommodoreWheeler (thanks!)
When I bought this piece, I noticed that the blade grinds were about 1/32" inch off - that is, the hollow grind on one side starts 1/32" higher on one side than on the other. Pretty small difference, which initially bothered me but which I came to see as part of its charm. I talked to Mr. Elishewitz about it and he said he'd be willing to regrind the blade - I decided that it wasn't worth the trouble. But for that, I'll cut the buyer a great deal - I paid $450 for this piece. Your price: Going to rmolk!
