Latest order done and dusted. Take down Bowie for a very good customer who wanted something to shake the Covid blues. Will be going straight to the engraver once he takes delivery.

Blade is CPM154 with a 600 grit hand satin finish. Scales are Mammoth Ivory. Frame, guard, and finial nut are all 416 stainless.

Finial wrench is Ancient Red Gum (eucalyptus), brass, and 416.

OAL is 14 3/4" X 9 3/4" blade. Got a lot of hours in this one, hope it shows and thanks for looking.

Yeah buddy! I love a lot about this piece.

As always, your final brushed finish is sooooo smooth, and what a nice (and complicated!) tool for the deconstruction.

Bravo. :cool:
 
Always a pleasure to post here, thanks for all your swell comments. I have learned the buyer is having Alamo themed engraving added, hope to see it again when it's all done.
