Something old / Something new (Knife for G7)

[BenR.T.]

Hey guys just finished up this little guys and thought I would share some pics. This is a fairly new design I call my Wingman Pocket fighter.
The "old" is some 50yr old Rag Micarta that I was fortunate enough to find recently. Kinda like finding a golden unicorn to a knife maker like me. This is the first knife I have put it on, I really dig it. The new is a 3.25" elmax blade, with stonewashed bevels/flats and polished spine all the way around. The G10 liners are red of course.
I made the "hybrid" copper/carbon fiber pins, which are a signature feature of mine.
This one will be on table at G7 next weekend.

Any and all comments welcome, thanks for looking!!

can't help but wonder what constituted the 50yr old rags. There's some history buried in that phenolic resin.

Wow, that's really classy! Is that blade satin finished or did it get a quick dip in acid?

It was satin finished, blasted and then tumbled. No Acid on this one.
