Fully engraved goodness.

Ok,this realy is the LAST one before Blade.
I made this back in April and mailed it off to Nathan Dickenson with instructions to do what ever he wanted to with it. I like what he did! I got it back in the mail yesterday and finished it up this afternoon.
I used 410 stainless for the frame.
The blade is Sandvik 14C28N,60 Rc,hand finished to 800 grit,2 1/4" x .055".
The spring is also Sandvik 14C28N.
This knife is 3 1-4" long closed and weighs 2.6 oz.
Y'all enjoy these photos for now,I'll get it professionally photographed at the show.

Dang! I knew I forgot something!:biggrin:
No nail nick,not needed. This knife is easy to open yet snappy. Since it's not a traditional pattern I decided to forgo the nail nick. Something else I did to break the rules,I put my name on the wrong side! I'm just a rebel!:biggrin:

Thank you all for your kind words.

Calvin,
No need! Your engraver is top notch. That is a true Gent's folder that won't last long on your table.

 

[Lagrange]

Very nice Calvin!

 

[paps]

Stunning piece for sure! I expect you'll have great success at Blade.

The highlight of my Blade Show was when the buyer for Paragon Sports bought this knife from me.
