Pelamus Frame Lock

[R.W.Clark]

Decided to do up my Pelamus Liner Lock as a frame lock. Turned out very Onionisck, including the use of one of Ken's beefy custom pivots. The idea of the stippeling obviously came from Ken but the actual tribal mottif was offered by Trace Rinaldi. Blade is S30V with a solid Ti frame and clip. Dual thumb studs inlaid with Mother Of Pearl. Pivot and stand offs are hardened 440C.

So whatcha think?

What a beauty, Ron. I love the way the clip blends into the body of the knife. This knife looks great as a frame lock.

What do I think? I really like the design of the knife and the way that the clip is really integrated into the handle, including the continuity of the pattern. Can't say enough about a good looking clip on a custom - yours looks like it belongs there. So many seem out of place compared to how nice the rest of the knife is.

The tribal design is interesting - reminds me much of a tatoo. A rainbow anodization would also work well on your handle. The MOP inlay in the thumb stud is really nice. Subtle, but it stands out.
