Gorgeous knife. Have you considered offering one with a thicker frame? I would be all over it.
 
Love the snake theme with this.I'll be ordering one of these in the near future.

I do make them with 1/8" ti often, this one is thicker than it looks at about .085", but I rounded the scales before I sculpted them so the edges are thinner than the center.
 
I actually like the thinner scales. Given the 3/16" blade thickness, they make for a very strong package in a very light knife.

Where do you get your Damascus from, Alan? Or do you make your own Damascus?
 
Alan WOW!! This is one of your finest! Love the new look without a thumbstud! It makes it look so clean and just makes the rest of the knife design pop right out at ya! You have taken it to a whole new level with this one my friend!!

I have made some damascus, but I do not have a power press yet and I have to make it by hand which is very hard on the arm. This damascus was purchased from another maker in my area.
 
I usually don't care much for holes or file work on the blade, but it all looks great on this one. Snake eyes screws for the clip? Made me smile. Definitely my favorite of your sculpted Ti folders. Really nice.
 
I like this a lot. Been wanting to buy a pair of your knives for my two operators as a gift but I think this one here is too pretty for our lot.
 
I received my first Allan Davis folder on Friday. Its been a really fun 2 days! By far the nicest folding knife ive ever held. Wicked fast. Its really nice and thin and light, its almost unnoticeable in your pocket, which was my biggest pet peeve of my previous knife. Im not sure the thickness of the Ti frame on mine, but its as thick as it needs to be to keep up to the blade. It has a really great lock up, easy one handed operation and it`s just a real pleasure in hand, in use and in pocket.

I have another Davis folder on its way... a Damascus and Ivory folder. It`s a 60th birthday gift for my father... i hope he likes it more than his HD benchmades!
 
Alan ....

I'm in love! She arrived today. I've been waiting for you to post another of your rattlesnake motif frame locks. Knew this was the one when I saw the opening hole (with it's wider blade) and fantastic anodizing on the sculpted titanium.
