Very nice! I like the finish on the blade and bolsters. What is the blade steel on that beauty?
Thanks Rick. This one is 154CM.

Excellent Lanny's Clip. John Lloyd's workmanship & knives are as good as with knives cost 3-4 times as much. You have so many super fine knives made by Mr. Lloyd.

Thanks guys. I'll get some more pics up because the pile side is just as nice and matches very well. The F&F and the W&T is as good as any of the knives I've had from John.

Amazing patterns, if I didn't know any better, I'd assume they were production made. How did you do the inlays for the shields?
