Finely got this California knife finished, took three trips to the engraver to get it done and he is not the most prompt person I know. The blade is 440 C sheath is nickel silver as is the guard rap an side panels, has mop and abalone inlays, the engraving is by Mark Hykes here in Reno, the Big Reno show is 8-16-17-18-13 have a table there come and take a look, is a big gun show.
