Sole authorship slip-joint

[Chuck Gedraitis Knives]

I just finished this for a customer and thought that you might like to see it. This is my first sole authorship slip-joint. The blade is 2-7/8 of my own "W" pattern damascus. Front bolsters and butt cap are my own mosaic damascus and the scales are premium antique tortoise shell. I cut the shell pieces out of the best part of the box I had. They look awesome, especially in the sunlight! Fileworked damascus backbar, titanium liners and screws. I heat colored the screws gold and the liners have been anodized gold. The bolster screws have been hidden for a cleaner look. I also turned the pivot screws down smaller so they didn't stick out too much. Great walk and talk with a half stop. Overall length is 6-1/2 inches.
Let me know what you think.
Regards,
Chuck

Nice. Have you tried backing the shell in gold leaf? It is really purrty...
