Just finished this little hunter/utility knife. It has genuine black lip mother of pearl inlays. The pearl is REALLY hard to capture in a photo. I can't begin to capture everything that's going on in it as you move it around.
I plan on bringing this with me to Blade, if I still have it then.
Specs:
Hand forged from 1075 steel, clay quenched and etched
3 3/8" blade, 7 1/2" overall, .180" thick at the ricasso w/ full distal taper
Rounded spine and ricasso edge
Fluted and line cut damascus collar
African blackwood handle
Black lip pearl inlays
Black Lip lends itself well to Blackwood.
She's a beauty, John!
