I purchased this one off the trader's cove at USN last weekend. It was shipped from the UK and Monday the 26th arrived today. Not too bad, 7 days in transit. I was expecting worse, so I was very excited when it arrived.
This one's unique in that it was only the second Mike has done with Damascus, this example with Thunderforge Twist Damascus, a non-stainless steel. I don't foresee much in the way of rust problems as it won't be a daily user and likely won't see much heavy use, though I'll be sure to take care of it anyway. It sure is pretty. The action is the same on all three of my Obenauf's, all Model 2's. It simply amazes me every time I open them how consistently smooth they all are.
And lastly, a family shot, three Model 2's, two small ti framelocks and a mini liner lock. The non damascus blades are S30V.
