All About Pocket Knives

I kept ignoring the post for days hoping that someone would take it before I caved. I finally reached out to Roland and it was still available. This is now the nicest knife in my collection. Custom Joel Chamblin Gentleman’s pen knife, or half whittler to me. The pearl on this is exceptional. I have seen a lot, A LOT of pearl handles but none compare to this one. I have never seen the shades and hues of blue that this pearl has in it, my pictures don’t do it justice. It’s simply elegant. The 14kt gold pins and shield are over the top. I wish I knew how he put those rounded headed pins in that pearl with no deformation. The blades are 154-CM stainless steel. The liners and bolsters are 416 stainless steel. Simply an exceptional knife. Thank you Roland for giving me the chance to own this beauty.

I can't believe there are still such knives out there from that era in such good condition. Real treat to find, and appreciate the responses. Thanks again.

I have a lot of knives that I put in the top ten of my collection but this one goes to number one. It’s the kind of knife you just can’t stop admiring. Plus the pearl looks different from different angles, it’s relaxing to watch the color shifts.
