Hello all and thanks for looking.

I finished this one this week and its off to its new home. Sheepsfoot slip joint in O1 with jigged bone covers
Nickel silver bolsters, pins, pinned shield and brass coin edged liners.

The pull on this is what I would call a medium, smooth and easy to pinch open (see attached video), half stop, spring lays flat in all 3 positions.
Hand jigged bone and tip is centered. Blade hand sanded to 600 grit finish.

Brass seems to be out of fashion right now but I really love the looks of the older knives with brass liners and steel or NS bolsters. What do you all think? Do you like the brass or just go all nickel silver?

OAL: 6.125"
Closed 3.5"
Cutting Edge: 2.3"

(Questions, comments and feedback welcome.)

Thank you sir. I like the brass too, especially against the bone.

Thanks! Do you mean along the spring too? I do that sometimes also. I just try to switch it up. I think it looks good along the spring also :)
