I have collected knives for a short time. I have had a few customs. I have paid over $600 dollars for a knife.

None have impressed me like this one. There is not a thing I would change about it. I keep thinking of it as my "precious!" I have never thought of a knife as that but the word precious just suits something so fine.
The walk and talk is perfect. The blade is ground thin as can be and sharp.. I am surprised the tip even exists it is so fine. So thin and light it can hardly be felt in the pocket. The pull is just right, plenty of resistance and when open it is VeRy secure.

Todd Davison is a master of the linerless slip joint. There is nothing about this knife that could be improved upon in my opinion. Even if I end up selling it some day I am glad that I was able to experience this knife! #560

Honestly i bought this for a nice light edc. It is so perfect I almost could not bring myself to carry it for fear of any damage or loss of "my precious"

Good luck grabbing any available knives by this fine maker.

Please if you have a T.A. Davison knife post a picture and short review of your knife as I would love to hear your opinion!

Thank you Todd for building such a fine knife and keep up the good work!

Showing the relief where the tang goes which makes it a jog and shout rather than walk and talk! Also the work on the inside of the backspring.

Another interior shot and yep, it cut me already while I was goofing around with it.

You have very good reason to be happy and proud of that one...it musta REALLY looked good last night at closing time!!:thumbup:
 
Congrats on your new addition and colorful knife (and post)! :cool:
 
I also have one of Todd's Sway Back's in samber stag - I know what you mean by "precious".
 
Hehe, everything looks better at closing time. The Crown Royal gets me everytime. I've got to start sticking with beer.

Thanks artdeg, I felt weird calling a knife precious :D Nice to know someone understands. Do you have any pictures?
 
That is a beauty. I'm really beginning to understand the draw that these blades have on people.
 
That's a beautiful knife. You can see the attention to detail that was put into making it. I prefer natural handle materials in a slipjoint myself, but IMO if it is G10 it should be a bright color like that. The nice thing about G10 is being able to make it linerless and not having to worry about warping or shrinking. It gives the knife a sleek look. I bet you will have a hard time ever bringing yourself to sell it.
