Persian auto

[Javier Vogt]

This is not new (I've finished back in may), but I wanted to show it because it's one of my best work... or at least I was very satisfied!

It's an auto folder, in persian shape, with a "secret" opening.
Specs are:
Blade lenght: 122 mm / 4 7/8"
Closed: 141 mm / 5 1/2"
Total: 263 mm / 10 3/8"

Blade and bolsters are in 5 bar turkish damascus, made from 1095 and 15n20 by Manuel Tacus. Forged to shape.
Grade 5 titanium liners, fileworked, jeweled inside and heat colored.
Black MOP scales with sterling silver domed pins.
Bolher N678 spacer with some texturing, and avalon blade stops.

No visible screws construction.

Let's see the pictures... At the end is a video.
Thanks for looking!

Looks nice, but very familiar.

Thanks guys!

Chuck: I have to say that it was a customer request, based on a pic of a Richard S Wrigth folder (obviously is not the same, as he is really a Master). Why do you say that? Have you made something similar?

Javi,
I was just referring that it looked very similar to a Richard Wright folder, as you mentioned.
I did watch the vid and like the mechanism is unique, which I like.

I want to compliment you for the very exquisite work and what appears to be a very innovative opening system.
