I had this 1 on order for awhile. The wife gave it to me for Christmas.
This is a 1 of a kind, I got Al(Warren) to make to my specs, had him go all out a bit of bling. Has 3" Devin Thomas double stainless, raindriop pattern.

Handle is 4 1/4 lockback with NS Bolsters stainless pins.
The scales are shagreen(stingray skin) with spacers. A real thick & comfortable.
I'm really happy with, it got a workout over Christmas opening the kids toys.

Congrats, Mitch. I've heard a lot of good things about Al's work. Looks like a good useful knife. :thumbup:
 
Thanks Blues:thumbup:
Yep Al does great flat grinds.
This will be real handy trimming a bit of leather here & there.
Cheers

Wow - very interesting knife. I love the handle material. Adds a rather unusual look to it. And the blade looks like it's just askin' for work...

thx - cpr
 
Super interesting. I wonder if the shagreen will mold in to the shape of your hand. That would be really cool.

God Bless
 
Wow, how nice is that! beautiful Mitch, just plain beautiful
my fav blade style too and no notch, :) a real plus in my book ;)

Mitch,

What a beautiful custom! Looks like you got it all your way too, certainly is one-of-a-kind. I am a fan of stabilized natural animal skin as knife scales/handle material.

I am intrigued by the shagreen-stingray hide. Can you please elaborate a little on the process?

Thanks for the kind words:thumbup:

Sunnyd- You refering to the processing of the hide? I don't know a great deal about I'll send you an email.
