Finished this folder up the other night. This is one of my finest knives yet, design, form and function. Blade, and both the front and rear bolsters are Jerry Rados ladder pattern damascus. His ladder pattern is very tight. Blade length is 3 5/8 in long. Overall length is 8 1/8in. Scales are beautiful mammoth ivory with blues, greens and browns. Liners are blue anodized titanium with filework all the way around. The backbar has a running vine patern fileworked onto it and has two white mammoth ivory inlays. The thumbstud also has an ivory inlay. Fileworked screws, bronze bushings and great lockup. I would be very appreciative if someone was willing to post the pic for me, since I haven't figured it out yet.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck
P.S. Keith, how do you like the ivory?Knife open

It's a really nice knife. The handle and blade have a good looking almost natural flow to their curve. I like the color of the handle material material too.

I am not one that usually likes a Persian style blade, but this one is wonderful. I just wish I could make out the colors better on that ivory. Blue mammoth ivory is my favorite handle material.
