What is your prettiest knife?

[353]

Oh man . . . is that box wood ? I'm such a sucker for box wood. I hardly see it in a knife handle.

What steel ? Plain high carbon ?

It is curly birch I think. And the steel is 52100. You can read even more on the knife here, It's entirely handmade, sheath and all, by finnish blacksmith Martti Malinen:

This would be mine. But I think all my knives are pretty.

Today's pretty is the Wilson Combat Fox Extreme Lite Carry in cocobolo. Nice graining on the scales contrasting with the polish on the N690C blade. I'm a big fan of fluted grips in general and the WC Starburst pattern in particular. This one's a souvenir of a family trip to Barcelona a few years ago, bought at a beautiful old-school cutlery there--Ganiveteria Roca in the Placa del Pi. We also picked up a small front-flipper feather knife from Viper for my wife there. I'll have to get some pics of that little beauty to add here as well.

Now that's a handsome knife.

I had this one on the Exchange for a couple weeks. When it came time to re-list, I couldn't stand it anymore and withdrew from sale. I felt much better right away.

What is that?

That's a Shirogorov Tabargan with custom marbled CF and a 100 mm M390 blade.

Nice. Is that an Axis lock? It threw me off.

It's an AXIS-style barrel lock. More than a little similar.

Here's the other knife from our Barcelona trip that I mentioned a couple days back--my wife's Viper Drop feather knife. This is a cool little pice with a front flipper that doesn't really flip but does open one-handed, the tab becoming a thumb ramp in the opened position. Really nice F&F with a super sharp Sandvik 12C27 blade, open back construction, and a liner lock. I just wish some makers didn't feel the need to turn their blades into billboards.
