thanks again and as always...more to come!
 
Beautiful tool. Nice choice of materials and clean lines.
 
Peter, gorgeous knife. I love the handles, and I really love the clip. I still think a swedge would have helped the look of the blade, but it has a simple elegance to it as is. I like the hidden stop pin, but the blade cutout still concerns me structurally. I think you could obtain the same effect by cutting that arcing slot into the two ti liners, and press fitting the stop pin into the blade. I hope I'm not coming off as annoyingly critical, I think you do great work. I look forward to future projects.
