This is a new model for me. A nice small gents pocket knife with forged 52100 blade and 416ss frame. The inlay is abalone, and is the first time I have used this material. It is solid abalone, not the laminated material. I had a few whole shells, and cut the scales myself.
The knife measures 3" closed, with a 2 1/2" blade. It uses the Sawby lock, which I am really enjoying making. Easy to use and provides such a clean little knife. The lock is totally sealed from dirt and pocket lint, and the onyl moving part is the blade. To close the knife, simply press the tab on the bottom of the blade tang, lifting the blade free of the lock, then rotate closed. A ball bearing detent pulls the blade into the frame and keeps it from falling open in your pocket.
The price on this one is $750, shipped CONUS with a leather slip cover. I accept credit cards and paypal.
Let me know what you think!!
