Comments: This is another one of John W. Smith’s Premium
folders. As you probably know, John is a true sole-author, which
means he forges and blues his own Damascus and does all of his
own engraving.
This beautiful clip-point has the works, including
nicely filed and color anodized titanium liners, a rope-filed
Damascus back-spring and absolutely magnificent presentation-grade
Fossil Walrus scales.
Then there is the engraving. This beauty
has all four bolsters and back-strap engraved with
24carat gold. Other special details include gold screws and a
solid gold thumb-stud to complement the gold and blue colors in
the rest of the knife.
John’s name is engraved and gold-filled
at the base of the blade, and the back-strap has even been engraved
on the inside of the knife! It doesn’t get much better than this!
