Hi folks, a nice Saturday here in northern PA, especially after the mail went ;) this small fixed blade arrived, as I traded into this knife, she's been through a few hands since Eliot had made her a while back, but none the worse for wear, just needed a little sharpening and good to go, he tells me the blade is D2 steel and sure felt pretty hard during the sharpening process and she be quite sharp now!

Thanks Eliot for this design, I think it's a pretty handy small knife right here! Blue G10 bolster and camel bone back half, copper pins and copper tubing plus some nice file work down the blades spine. Also to go with the Patriotic theme he used Red and Blue liner material too.

Top it off with a very nice pocket carry sheath by Paul Long aka sheathmaker on the forums, it has an inlay of alligator, just perfectly done! Nice Paul !

Now, I'm not sure if he is making any more of these, so you'll needs catch up with him concerning that, as I see he's making a lot of very nice looking folders lately!

That is a an excellent looking little FB and the sheath just sets it off perfectly as we all expect from PL. The mix of handle materials is great and I love the overall lines of the knife with just enough file work to place it into the artistic knife level that I love to see.
 
Thanks guys and Kevin, it must be that Circle of knife kind of thing ;) going back before there were folders...
