Although I have never seen one of Ken's knives I found unappealing, some I like more than others, and THIS one, with the possible exception of those VERY expensive ones with the scalloped Ti handle with the multiple pearl inlays, is the sweetest one I ever saw, which is why I bought it. 
Large 3.75" complex damascus blade by Ealy, bolsters are flaired, carved and blued mosaic by Eggerling with shades of blue and purple, the fossil ivory is all bark, and as nice as ivory gets, the filework is phemonenal, and, the action is SUPERB, smooth as silk, and the lock engages with such a solid snap, as well, there is literally ZERO blade play in any direction, and, the blade is dead center in the handle, I have seen lockbacks that cost 2-5 times as much that don't have the F&F and quality this knife has. Ken is most definitely one to watch and his stuff will not always be as affordable as it currently is, and here is a KILLER example at a very good price.
I see knives of his for sale that are not as large, nor as complex, and without the primo ivory and the blued, carved mosaic bolsters, sell for $995, get this amazing, PERFECT lockback with ultra-sweet bark fossil ivory and F&F to die for, for just SOLD!!! shipped!!! Can't beat it with a stick, a VERY good price, on an even better knife, you will LOVE this knife, if not, just send it right on back.
First to email me and say they'll take it, gets it at this price.
PayPal is OK if you add 3%, otherwise a postal MO is ideal.
Thanks for looking.
