Greetings,

This was originally a 13'' flat blade swivel bolster produced by Giovanni Beltrame. It suffered from severe banana-blade, so I sent it off to the great Chat Ruben to have his way with it!

The result:

• Swedge added to the blade
• Converted to picklock, locktab filed to adjust for this conversion (easy to release the blade)
• New (heavy!) brass bolsters - pommel has some file work, and the top is flared like some medieval torch
• Flat brass coin-sized button to match the bolsters
• Purple pearlex and yellow swirl kirinite scales add to the mass (about 5mm each)
• New pivot to improve the action (fires like a bear trap!)
• Did I mention this knife is heavy?

Remaining hardware from original build:

-3.5mm blade/backspring assembly

-Brass liners

-Rocker/sear assembly

This is one of those "fun" knives you just want play with! All the same, it looks killer in a case as well, especially when the light glints off of it.

If you'd like more pictures or even a video, I'm happy to oblige, just reach out!

Thanks for looking,
