New Italian.. pics

Darrel Ralph · Nov 3, 2000

Got the pic back from Terril Hoffman today.
This is the prototype with my new S1 release system.
This has my new S1 release system DA .
The blade is 4.75 long. This knife is available with titanium blolsters, ss bolsters, file work liners, damascus blade and bolsters (mine or Mike Norris).
Ivory and pearl are other options also.
The release is completly hidden . The bolster pushs FORWARD to release.

Darrel, that's a beauty, but there is something very familiar looking about that knife?

Yes Phil deserves a big hand for the illustrations early in the project. He hit is just right with little more than a line drawing...

The latest knives have a more rounded butt.. also.
