(Sold) Amber Jigged Bone & 1095 Linerlock Trapper w/ Hamon

[Alan Davis Knives]

This was the design of fellow knifemaker & friend Eliot Maldonaldo. I changed it up a little but it is still his design and it was his first self designed linerlock. He normally makes slipjoints, but wanted to learn to make linerlocks and I showed him the basics and he has been showing me the basics of slipjoints. Thanks Eliot, for letting me use such a great design.
The overall length is 7 1/8", the blade is 3 1/16" from tip to scales x 1" high and is hollow ground from 1/8" 1095 high carbon steel and was differentially heat treated. The liners and bolsters are 410/416 stainless steel and are heat treated, the bolsters are spot welded. The scales are amber dyed jigged bone. There is file work on blade spine, bolsters & liners, the thumbstud I made from sterling silver and it comes with a right hand carry sheath made by me. This one has a nylon cased bearing system which operates very smooth and has zero blade play in any direction. Satisfaction guaranteed SOLD. US shipping with insurance and pp fees included.

Very nice knife. The first 2 pics show a reddish color to the scales whereas the next 2 show a golden brown color. Which is closest to actual color ?
And, is the blade ground very thinly to be a real slicer, or a bit thicker as a stout all-rounder ?
thanks, roland

The top two pics were taken in sunlight and that represents pretty well how it looks in sunlight (reddish brown), the next two indoors in a light box mainly to show the hamon detail. It is ground at .028 of an inch just behind the secondary bevel, so it is still thin enough to be a good slicer, but still has a little heft for all around use.

Thanks, Alan
