Ryan, what's the closed length on these?

Nice pearl and an interesting take on the alternative to a nail nick.

Look forward to seeing what they look like after the engraving.

I also am looking forward to seeing Ken Hurst do his thing with these knives!:thumbup:

Thanks guys, these are roughly 3 and 5/8" closed and a hair over 6.25 open. I'll post some pics up when Ken does his stuff.
 
That knife looks incredible. I like the pearl alot. The engraving is gonna really set it off and make it something special.
 
Long bolsters aren't my preference, but that pearl looks very nice. :thumbup:

Very nice... You don't see many knives with edges that aren't radiused.
Do you do most of your knives that way ?
I'm not much on engraving, but IMHO it will really add a finishing touch to those knives.
 
Thanks guys. I don't normally leave my edges this square or make my bolsters this long. I made long bolsters because that's what the customer wanted for an engraving canvas and I left the pearl more square because I'm afraid I would have lost too much color due to the color not being that deep. Thanks again Ryan Minchew
