The pattern shows on the edges and grinds, the flats have a hand satin
Scales are made from black G-10, silver twill carbon fiber, and layered blue twill carbon fiber

Typical perfect Elishewitz fit and finish, all material transitions are seamless
Blade opens nicely if you pre-load the flipper, thumbstuds work great as well
Smooth action and locks with zero play
Centering favors the show side by just a hair but doesn't come close to rubbing

4. Brad Fairall Model 3 - near mint - $500
Unique and very well built folder with 3.5" of cutting edge
S30V blade with a beautiful hand satin and a very high polish on the edges
The tip has a sort of micro-swedge that I haven't seen before, makes the blade come to a much more acute point
The finishes on the liners match the blade
Lockup is adjustable using the screw by the lock face
Contoured wood scales
Comes with an extra set of layered black and white G-10 scales with a wood inlay
Glass smooth action
The pivot seems to be a bit loose since there is some side-to-side play the centering slightly favors the show side
