I rate this as one of the nicest knives I have ever built.
The blade is a really fine blade by Mike Wilson who is well known for his friction folders - looks good, takes and holds a keen edge.
The handle is mammoth tooth over blue spacers with antique copper bolsters.
The liners are brass.
The pivot is adjustable and bronze washers make for smooth opening.
Pins in the mammoth have been hidden.
The knife is 3 5/8" in length when closed (excluding the opening lever).
The blade 2 3/4" bolster to tip.
A modified and stippled pocket-clip (removable),courtesy of William Henry.
I chose it as it is slim and allows setting of the pivot screw without having to remove it.
Also, a lanyard loop that has been tightened so that it also functions as a "safety" for the blade when carried using the pocket-clip.
Due to the cost of the materials used, the price is higher than for my usual friction folders.
