I love the bolsters, and is that a MOP insert in the thumbstud? Beautiful.

Holy smokes, the sculpting on those bolsters is so damn cool! That is one beautiful folder, great work.

Fabulous! I'd sure like to know something about the materials used to make this knife.

Glad you guys like it, thanks....
Keith, here's the materials breakdown.....Eggerling Damascus all the way....Bark Elephant Ivory Scales..MOP Inlaid Thumbstud......Anodized Titanium Frame and Backspacer....no filework....clean and simple......backside Ivory as pretty as the frontside....

 

[Keith Montgomery]

Wonderful materials. That is one of the nicest art folders (make that folders, period) that I have ever seen.

Ya know, I stared at this knife for about five minutes wondering what in the world makes it so damn appealing. I give up.

I think there is something about the combination of traditional natural materials and curves along with modern metals and machining lines that conspire to lure me in.

I think I'll look at it some more....

(Congrats to all!)

I know what gets me... It is the fluting on the bolsters. It takes the intricate damascus pattern on the bolters and really excentuates it. Add that to the Eggerling Paisley and the crossing patterns make it really striking.

Larry, that is one beautiful knife....... You going to make any more like it???? ????

I plan to make a few more Bob. Gotta get a small bank loan so I can buy some more of that Beautiful Bark Elephant Ivory.
I'm just finishing a 4" D/A Fastwind with similar damascus, but sporting Goldlip Pearl scales. Pretty striking piece also.
