This knife gave me the opportunity to play with some photography a little bit. My regular procedure seems to end up with knives that appear flat and lifeless, when, in fact, they are not.
So, I layed this on the floor by the back door and had at it! Just natural lighting.
Anyway, I have had this piece of Rosewood for years, it seems, and thought I'd put it to use. As well, I inlayed each side with an oval Mammoth Ivory piece from and old paper weight a friend of mine gave me. She used it as a paper weight at work, and when she retired, she didn't want anything that reminded her of her job! So, she gave it to me about 10 years ago.
Stinless steel fittings that have compound flat and polished facets. I find that multi-faceted pieces that are completly brought up to full polish lose their appeal. A flat section here and there makes the polished areas more pronounced.
Clipped, 5160 blade, forged down from heavy stock, and, believe it or not, its a fixed assembly. No Take-down.
Overall length of 11 1/2 inches with a 6 3/8 inch blade.
