Beautiful. Everything a knife needs and nothing that it doesn't. I particularly like the continuous curve along the back of the knife - from the point, down the spine, to the end of the handle. Also the thick, slightly colored liners. The handle looks very useable - smooth and well contoured. The blade color is interesting - is it blued, is the steel naturally a bit dark, or is it a quirk of the photo?

Very minor quibbles - I might have extended the cutting edge a bit further towards the handle (though this configuration may make sense when you hold the knife). Also, how does the tab of the locking liner feel when you grip the knife? It looks like a tough compromise between getting poked in the hand and being able to access the liner lock. Finally, it could use a nice, clean "Klein" stamp on the blade - this is definitely one to put your name on!

Thanks for the pics.
 
Thanks for the compliments guys

The blade was etched in ferid chlorid. So the blade gets a nice black collor.
At the ricasso area I let a liitle bit more space for my name to engrave. But I didnt do it till now. Maybe I become a little engraving machine after the show then I will put my name on the blades.

You are right the liner lock you doesnt realy feel in the hand when you handle the knife. But it is still comfortable to close the blade when you push the liner.

Thanks for watshing

Very well done, I love the clean, uncluttered lines. For lack of a better word I would describe it as a very zen style. This would be a knife I would own with pride and show off as often as possible.

Ah, yes, the maker stamp would balance out the ricasso perfectly! Good job on the ferric chloride etch - the color is very deep.
