Well after about a weeks worth of work this knife is ready. I think that this is the nicest one yet.
Here are some pics and the specs.

Blade is 4-1/4in long 1-1/8 wide at the widest point and made form forged to shape 1095 steel. Differentially heat treated with a nice temper line. Brass guard and titanium liners. The scales are made up of various exotic woods like ebony, cocobolo, bocote, and the spacers are brass, titanium and nickel silver. The end scales are crown stag. Fileworked backbar and blue anodized titanium liners. I even carved in a scagel style stamp into the blade. Overall length is 9-3/4 inches. Wicked sharp, smooth opening and locks up great.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck

This one is every bit as nice as that last one you made in the Scagel style; maybe even nicer. I prefer the blade on this one. If this style of knife is not a huge winner for you then I am going to be very surprised.
 
Those are superb and that one is a fine example......ya got that temper-line thing down pretty good! ;) :D
 
HEY, where's the pocket clip? ;) :D

(just kidding!) That is one heck of a gorgeous knife! I guess I must have missed your first one, I've never seen a folder like this. Like Keith mentioned, I'd be surprised if this style wasn't a huge winner for you. Hope you have one like this at the Chicago Custom show..... (hint hint)
 
That's unbelievable!! Fantastic work. There's usually something I don't like about a knife, but I can't find a thing! :cool:
 
That knife is outstanding.I wish it were mine.Beautiful Scagel execution.That sounds funny.If that thing stays locked up,it's perfect.
