I was lucky enough to get in on the ground floor of this project and exchange an earler order for this one.
The knife is a version of the Cujo D/A,for those of you that are new to Larry's work it is a full size folder,4'blade CPM440V or most other metals-carbon fiber scales-bearing pivot-Ti liners-Ti bolsters-and world class customer service.
The knife is dubbed the Cujo Special,
It differs from the original Cujo in that the firing button is moved to the middle of the knife somewhat like a Valloten SOF and flush with the scale,now one might think that this would make the button hard to find in the dark--not so,first the button yealds to light pressure until it engages the fireing mechanism at which time it takes deliberate push to fire,second-one of the options offered this knife is a deeply etched damascas button which offers a disteictive texture to contrast the smooth scale, i.e.easy to find button.
The knife I belive will only be avalable if special ordered from Larry due to the amount of time needed to construct one which adds to the collectability.
Two have been made thus far,the first prototype went to Les Robertson and was sold before he received it,the second well I convinced him to change an order I placed with him months earlier to this model and it now resides in my permanent collection,it is no stretch to say that this is the finest folder that I have yet to own and is now the standard by which all of my other customs will be judged.
I am going to try to have Larry post a picture of the new model so every one can enjoy.
