Hello Martin,

looks like a top manufacturing job - congrats!

Nice screw set-up and the clean radius interfaces between the handle elements are certainly a challenge.

The filework is also top-notch and the blade damascus is superbe.

But ... and here starts the personal taste section ... for me, all this together is too much on one folder.

The density of different patterns, materials and dimensions in both directions is too high for me personally: damascus, iron wood burl, structured bronze, ivory - filework, Ti liners, black G10, new silver, handle materials.

I think, in this case, less would have been more.

Still, it is an impressive knife displaying your excellent level of craftsmanship.


Looking forward to seeing more of your work here

Regards

Virgil
