Here is one I sent out last week. It is an Orca folder with hammered bolsters, back spacer and thumbstuds out of bronze with patina. Handle scales are LSCF with double custom mosaic pins inset. The blade is S30V and is running on thrust bearings and has a satin finish with handrub flats and near mirror finish on the swedge.

All the Best,
Eric

that's sweet!
 
Thanks so much for the gracious comments! I wish my pics did justice to the bronze it has some very nice subtle blues, yellows and purples that don't really show in my pics.

Best,
Eric
 
That looks Great Eric, I love the textured bolsters. I look forward to checking out your table here in a couple weeks.
 
Fantastic package.

I don't love carbon fiber normally (depending on the overall look of the knife), but for some reason, I really am a fan of lightening strike CF.
 
That's a stunning piece! I love the bronze accents and the bayonet blade profile. Also the clip and the use of the XL mosaics. All the elements really pull together nicely. The owner must be damn proud of that, and so should you be!

Damn proud is an understatement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm honoured to say this magnificently created Orca is mine. It’s only been a short while in the works with Eric but the anticipation is a killer and it makes it feel like forever.

I don't know of too many makers that fit in the same category as Eric does. For sure one of most amazing people to have the opportunity to work with.

To push the envelope of creativity to such a level, and to keep the most amazing fit and finish. It's been an incredible experience, and only the begining.................

All I can say is OMG.......................
 
lyon-den, aka Gary, I am humbled and honored by your comments. This was a fun and exciting build, I enjoyed working with you on it. Your idea of the double mosaic pins real set the handle off well!

Thanks,
Eric

I knew when I first started seeing Eric's work 3 or 4 (?) years ago that he had the right stuff! Very gratifying to see you taking off Eric.
 
Wow! Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments!
