Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2582 Loc: Southeast Utah	I just received this folder this week and have had a heck of a time photographing it. I get the photos on the computer and I see dust or other debris and getting the hamon to show was hard too. It is a commissioned piece by John Doyle in Michigan. Specs are as follows: 7 1/4" open, 3 1/4" blade, 4 1/4" closed W2 steel blade with hamon, .115" thick at the plunge line, full distal taper, Rounded spine Rounded, filed thumb grip .060" titanium jeweled liners Desert Ironwood scales Titanium pivot and handle screws Bronze backspacer with lanyard pin Bronze thumb stud I am really happy with the way it turned out Peter Attachments ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives

Windsor Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/12/15 Posts: 1870 Loc: Texas!	I'm not a fan of flippers or liner locks but everything else about that knife has me all wiggly inside. Very nice. ETA: Everything about that knife says "lefty", btw. Edited by Windsor (10/16/16 07:39 PM) _________________________ Rob

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2582 Loc: Southeast Utah	Thanks guys, I really like John Doyle's work, and have another fixed blade on the schedule you can call me lefty Rod, this won't be carried hiking as it would get all scratched up. I am going to get a leather belt pouch made for it and will post photos when I get that, but I want to play with it before I send it out for leather Peter _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives
