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 bolsters. There are solid gold screws throughout and the release button is hand-checkered and engraved with gold as well.

The back-strap and spine of the blade is filed in the shape of a rope. And cleanly filed and gold anodized titanium bolsters set off the blued Damascus and the checkered presentation-grade Mother of Pearl just perfectly.
