Comments: This jumbo John W. Smith fancy dagger has it all.

And as usual that means sole authorship.

John has done everything on this knife including forging and bluing the Damascus as well as engraving the frame with 24 carat gold. And there is a solid gold thumb-stud and solid gold screws throughout.

The back-strap and spine of the blade are also gold engraved, and those parts of the back-strap that are not engraved are filed in the shape of a rope.

Cleanly filed and gold anodized titanium liners set off the blued Damascus, and the flawless Black-lip Pearl, just perfectly. Finally, John's name is engraved in gold at the base of the blade - an ultimate Smith folder!
