Esperanto for golden
I am lucky with the bolsters on this one, normally screw-on screw-off bolsters make miniscule shifts when final re-assembly happens but this time they coincided well, leading to the bolsters almost appearing as one with the liners. The knife is made with titanium liners and 'dove-tailed' bolsters, electrically anodised at 12.3V DC. the screws are all stainless but heat coloured for golden and blue colours. The scales are vintage canvas micarta lovingly referred to a 'rotten banana' by some, doesn't taste at all like it
. The blade is a design I had for more than a year now and is made from 2,6mm RWL34, finally giving this steel the treatment it deserves. Titanium spacer, anodised at 24V DC. Gold plated mark. Veg tan leather sleeve, handmade thread: Meisi original.

OAL 170mm 6,7 inch
Folded 99mm 3,9 inch
Cutting edge 73mm 2,87 inch
HRC 63
Weight 55g 1,9 ounce
BESS sharpness 140-150
Qs and comments welcome, thanks, Ig
