Two exceptional knives.
That's a great photo. It shows all the detail.

Here are two more folders (Kaj Embretsen, this time) with the
immediately recognizable engraving art of Simon Lytton.
Here are the specs for both the Kaj Embretsen folders:
"Warncliff Wittles", 2002
A three-blade slip joint folder with one big blade, 2 1/4" (56 mm),
and two smaller pen blades 1 3/4", (44 mm) each, all made of Twisted
Damascus steel. Black-Lip Mother of Pearl scales, gold liners, bolsters and pins.
Engraving by Simon Lytton. Closed length 3 3/4" (94 mm).
"Swayback Jack", 2002
A two-blade slip joint folder. The big blade is 1 3/4" (44 mm) long
and the smaller blade is 1 1/4" (31 mm), both made of Twisted Damascus steel.
Black-Lip Mother of Pearl scales, gold liners, bolsters, pins and bail.
Engraving by Simon Lytton. Overall length 4 1/2" (112 mm).
All the best,

Great knives and Richard is a great guy.
I'll give you 3 guesses on how he does his checkering.

Clean work, Kam. I know Simon and Richard will like it. Convenient for Simon to have you in the UK!
Simon's work is very easily distinguished, especially when he sticks with his traditional English scroll.
Chuck: Now that you made me look and think...
He grinds off a tooth or more on a hacksaw blade in a consistent pattern?
David: Beautiful examples!

I spoke to him at blade about the process while checking out his knives.
He told me that he uses his surface grinder. No heat, no chipping and no oops with a hand file.
