Beautiful photo, James!
Thanks Ron. More proof... ya take enough pics one will eventually turn out.
Jeff that is just too cool!!! Obviously it was made by someone very creative. Love the swell center, shadow style with bird's eye pins, the blend of wood and micarta, the inlay and the blade choice. I could go on but you get the idea, I'd call it functional pocket art, very nice! -JamesI kind of like a little modern twist on traditionals from time to time. This being my favorite example

I ran this Artisan Cutlery Biome by Frank and Gary just to be safe, and it seems like a good fit for this thread.
At 1.4 oz. and just 8 mm thick at its widest point, it's a little feather in my pocket. In a concealed departure from tradition, it uses a hidden stop pin rather than a kick to prevent blade rap. Whatever Baron von Torxenbacher's descendants might say, those screws are a not-at-all-concealed departure...
Walk is decent and talk is quite nice. It has a hidden lanyard attachment near the butt and a somewhat light/mushy half-stop (still functional, though). Overall I quite like it, especially for $30 and in Sandvik 12C27N steel, and if jade G10 isn't your thing it also comes in CF, black, and blue-gray.
Per the recent Knife mag issue in an article on cotton samplers, interior or hidden pin instead of a kick is not new...even though AGRussell claimed it as his idea.
