Very nice. I too prefer the first one, but I'd be proud to own either.

May I ask why the handle measurement is thinner than the blade? Is this the thickness of each slab?

Wow, are those ever nice.

 

[Elkinsknives]

Sorry, that's the thickness of each of the liners. On the stacked handle, each of the overlays is .040".

Those both are nice and have a CLEAN look. The only thing I don't really care for is the thin round clip on the first one. To me it detracts from the pearl and the inlays are really nice. I like everything else about it.

[Lorien]

very handsome knives there:thumbup:.

 

[fishface5]

love the handle on that first one. But does that thin clip hold the knife securely w/o wearing a hole in your pants?

 

[A. Brett Schaller]

Very nice "flow" - they look like they're in motion just sitting there!

 

[Elkinsknives]

Thanks for all the comments, guys!!

(To answer a question, no the thin clip doesn't feel bad at all; it actually rides pretty good. Thanks, Van)

I love the very subtle recurve in the blade. Especially on that mother-of-pearl example...

 

[ROBB]

They are both great but I like the 1'st better. I think the clip looks great. I don't know if it works as well as the other but it looks better.:thumbup:

Very nice - I like the way you dressed up the first one.
