Received my long awaited Whitewing pearl lockback, and boy - was it worth the wait!
The knives Bailey is turning out are, without question, as high quality a knife as you can buy. Every line is straight and even, every surface is flush. The scales are beautiful and well matched, the blade is razor sharp CPM-3V, with a graceful, even swedge.
The action is excellent, and the blade gently snaps back into the closed position at about .25" from the handle. Opened, the blade fits between the bolsters and against the spring with nearly imperceptible seams.
All of the lines and curves are appropriate and understatedly elegant. This is a knife that I'll be proud to use for dress carry.
Bailey Bradshaw has quickly earned a reputation for making fantastic traditional patterned knives for very reasonable prices with his custom knives, and the Whitewing knives live up to this reputation handily. If
traditional patterns are your thing, and you don't check out a Whitewing before your next purchase, you are cheating yourself.
Whitewing knives are available from our own Danbo or Whitewinger. Either guy will treat you right.
