Reminds me of a Zippo

This is a completely different style for me. Not sure if I like it but fun to make.
The knife is 3 3/4" closed and 7 1/2 inches open. The blade and spine are 440C, the bolsters are 416 and the handles are carbon fibre. I used .090 titanium for the liners, more than twice as thick as I normally use so a few new lessons learned there.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks
Steve

Steve, That is interesting ... I've been fascinated with that type of blade tip, and I think you got a nice angle on the forward "edge".
Is it the picture angle or is it wider at the base than the bolster when closed? How about a picture of the spine, just to see the liners, etc.?

I've been staring at for about 10 minutes now, and I don't hate it ... it's very unique!
