A BEAUTIFUL KNIFE FROM A MR. OLSZEWSKI!!
ABOUT THE KNIFE:

COMMENTS: Ultra clean workmanship on this classic folder, amazing file work, KILLER PEARL, It was really hard to get pictures that really show the color in the pearl and the quality of the fit and finish. There is a solid gold inlay in the backspacer, ruby in the thumbstud, Black Lip Pearl in the inside of the backspacer, purple anodized liners and filework everywhere. Also the blade has a nice hamon. Just a STUNNING PIECE!! If you're tired of tacticals and want a true Gents Folder this is for you. I sent this back to Stephen about a year ago to clean it up and adjust the lock – it is now perfect. He said to make this knife today would be $2,100!
Right now $1,599 to your door!
ABOUT THE MAKER:
Olszewski, Stephen
I've been building knives for about five and a half years.(not sure how long ago this was written) My background is in jewelry model making and sculpting. This is why I concentrate my efforts in the carving and ornamentation. I Build one of a kind art knives. Many of my knives are considered theme knives or figurals. I feel that a knife should flow out of the makers imagination to the owners hand and continue to flow. A hand made knife should look visually appealing as well as be comfortable to hold. My knives are linerlocks as well as autos and high end lockbacks.
