Comments: This John W. Smith folder 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 blade and back-strap with 24 carat gold. He has also carved the bolsters and thumb stud out of 18K solid gold, and there are solid
gold screws throughout and the release button is engraved with gold as well. 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 presentation grade Black-lip Pearl just perfectly. Finally,
John’s name is engraved in gold at the base of the blade – the ultimate Smith folder!
