Very cool! I really like how you recessed the liners at the front of the handle to cover the stop pin on the blade- very slick. :thumbup:
 
Great lookin' knife Peter. I'll bet it wasn't easy to design a knife that size and have it flip easily too.

I've been bitten bad by the Peter r bug....I traded for a Rapture and just bought the Vagabond. I really like your customs a Lot Peter!!
 
oh no. I almost wish I didn't spend all my knife allowance on a rapture now. This is like exactly what i'm looking for!

Thats all I can say! Purely epic. Great lines and wonderful looks.
 
"It's perfect" is the only thing that comes to mind. If their is a list, please put me on it! The stress of missing your listings is starting to effect my health in a bad way. :D
 
I really like how it doesn't pretend to be anything but a flipper. The stop pins are recessed, and aren't available for thumbstud opening, hidden all throughout. Almost a katana/weehawk combo, plus bearings... My favourite Canadian maker, almost in my backyard... sign me up. Screw my knife budget I talked about earlier, this is one of the few I must have.

I've been wanting to design a blade like this for a couple months but haven't been able to find the time, plus the logistics of organizing such a thing seem difficult at best. Only thing I could ask for to improve on this are deep hollow grinds, but that's not a biggie (If you like Peter... you can try your hand and i'll pay extra!)
