I am one of those people who put down a pocketknife and then spend forever looking for it.
So, I thought I would make something that would be easy to see.
I wanted it to be thin, but not slippery in the hand.
To do this, a knife with nice sturdy liners is necessary, as the liners give strength to a thin handle.

This little custom by Bob Ham fits that description.
Half-stops and a blade of ATS 34 are a distinct bonus, as is the machined recesses to accommodate the blade's tang.

The knife turned out just like I wanted...a bit different, bright and shiny (easy to spot on a cluttered table/workbench) - nice feel to it as well, as you can get a firm grip on the handle.
The scales are made from antique copper that I salvaged from a 1850's railroad water tank.
$210 shipped - Paypal only please.
