PIVOT: 3/16" bronze bushing,bronze anti scratch washers.

SCALES: A beautifuly matched pair of pearl,highly polished.
This knife can be seen at my table at the A. G. Russell Knife Event.

Just lovely, I like the hand-rubbed finish on the steel.... a bit fancy for my own pappy though, he preferred jigged bone....

Thank you all for your compliments.
The photographs do not show this knife as I really is. In trying to capture the true look of the pearl,and I didn't really do that,the look of the blade and frame suffered.
I will have it professionally photographed at the A.G. Russell show and then post the photos here for thse of you that can't come to the show.

Very nice, Calvin.

I used to carry a gold pocket watch too. That was when we had watch pockets.

Super lovely, Calvin !!! I just put a Barrlow into the mail . The shape was something like that but not as refined. Nor was it near as pretty with only front bolsters and blackwood scales. You are a master of all folder styles !!! I love it Calvin !!! Frank
