That is simply stunning filework MM! ::drool:: I'm lost on the blades though? What year is this knife?

looks like a 1978 transitional. they used an old 1977 blade as well.

Thanks Johnnie. I knew there were some 2 dot 77 Blue Scrolls out there but I had never seen one knife with 2 different dotted blades. Smoke

Yep...It's a 3/2 dot '78/'77 Transition 6488. It started life with Delrin handles, but due to the craftmanship of Kaleb, it not only sports Amber bone scales, but boasts some of the finest file work I've seen. Saying that I am satisfied is a gross understatement. I'm more like... ::ds:: ::tu:: ::ds:: ::tu:: ::ds:: ::tu::
Thanks Kaleb!!!!

thanks folks.
glad it met expectations Griz
The liner filework is something I'll be doing more of in the future in all different patterns.

Another work of art, almost too purdy to carry or use. ::tu:: ::nod::

The center arrowhead filework really adds a lot! ::tu:: ::tu:: Looks great!
