Comments: Those looking for sole-authorship need look no further. John W. Smith does it all. That means he forges his own mosaic Damascus, does his own engraving and hot bluing as well. This gorgeous trailing-point also has magnificent presentation quality Fossil Mammoth scales, which are unusual in this quality on a knife of this size.

The front and rear bolsters are beautifully engraved by John in 24k gold, and the entire package is topped of with an artfully made 14k gold thumb-stud. The liners are gold anodized titanium. Finally, the Damascus back-strap is filed in a tight rope pattern and complemented with a different filing pattern on the inside of the knife. No serious custom knife collector should be without a John W. Smith knife. Bet you can't
buy just one!
