THIS PIECE WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TAKE PICTURES OF !! ITS JUST NOT a VERY LARGE KNIFE but THE BLADE IS A MIRROR !! 
 THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL , VERY LARGE , ( 9 3/8" LONG CLOSED and 16 3/4" LONG OPENED)( THE BLADE IS 3/16 THICK on THE TOP EDGE and 2" WIDE at its WIDEST POINT !! THE BLADE ON THIS PIECE IS A MIRROR, TIGHT and SNAPS VERY HARD / HANDLES/SCALES ("ARE EXACTLY") what THEY APPEAR TO BE !! " THUS THE ASKING PRICE " !!! THERE ARE ( 16 ) PINS IN THESE SCALES and UNDER HIGH MAGNIFICATION I DO SEE 2 PINS THAT HAVE THE SLIGHTEST , TEENIEST , VERY FINE HAIRS and THE HANDLE/SCALE MATERIAL BEING USED CAN PLAY a HUGE PART in THAT !!!!! / THIS PIECE HAS A LOCK/UNLOCK MECHANISM for THIS BIG BLADE and IT WORKS PERFECTLY !! THIS SPINE/BLADE WORK ON THIS PIECE is BEAUTIFUL/ THE HUGE BOLSTERS SHOW a LITTLE VERY LIGHT SCRATCHES / "THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL KNIFE " and ONE OF A KIND I BELIEVE !! MAKE ME a OFFER I CANT REFUSE !!! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

THIS KNIFE WAS MADE BY ( JOE KIOUS , ALAMO TX and is BLADE ETCHED AS SUCH ) JOE KIOUS WAS ONE OF THE BEST USA KNIFE MAKERS FROM THE 1970's until 2014 !! BY ALL MEANS PLEASE LOOK HIM UP and LOOK AT SOME OF THE ITEMS HE MADE !!! THEY ARE OUTSTANDING !!!
