OT - but I wanted to share with my friends

Guys - I just got my first custom!!! The UPS guy showed up today, and delivered a PRISTINE Cobra, from Phil Boguszewski! This is absolutely, hands down, the most beautiful knife I've ever seen. BG-42 blade, burgundy, polished micarta scales, titanium bolsters, with an orange peel finish, purple anodized liners... words just don't do it justice! I love this knife!!! I'll have to post scans tomorrow... I'm in awe, boys.

They look like sweeet knives. That's a heck of a first custom! Now you won't be able to stop!

Very nice.

BladeLaw mentioned the Cobra a couple of times and made me look at it. Very classy piece.

OK - as promised! Scans of the new Cobra (they really don't do it justice).

First, a closed view:

An open view (LOVE that blade!):

And, finally, a "top" view (I was trying to show off the purple, jeweled liners):

She is SO sweet!

Wow, that's nice. Nice lines. Looks like its comfortable to the grip as well.
The lines remind me a bit of Ken Onion's work too.

Enjoy! It's a great knife. As good as it looks. it's even better mechanically. Think Speedsafe, but smoother, without the need for any assist. And this opinion comes from a big Ken Onion fan. Great choice.

Having seen it I can say that it is much more impressive in person. The purple liners are incredible.
