Love the copper bolsters and pins.
Question:
Are the liners copper as well, or brass?
 
SAK of the Week is a smooth black Alox Money Clip:



Stockman of the Week is a Rough Rider stag medium stockman (could have been Stag/Horn Knife of the Week, too, but it's not). Notice how low the blades ride when closed - doesn't get much better than that IMHO!

So much to admire in this example ! Obviously, the proportions are spot-on and for me, this makes or breaks the piece. Very intricate but appropriate bolster,swell-end rather than swayback and then it tops out with chequering on natural bone(?) a rare and exacting skill. Beyond :cool:

Is this all stainless or a mix of stainless and carbon? Congratulations on working with a fine artisan to produce a knife to be admired by others for a very long time :thumbsup: All it needs is Major Carry.......

Thanks, Will

Hi Will
I will only take partial credit for the design. Cosimo and I discussed the general guide lines, then he went to work. His talent truly shines through his creations.
The steel used throughout is K720 and covered with natural bone. His skill with checkering is commendable. Especially using only this tool.
