Re: Customized Medici

Dave
Forgive my lack if knowledge in the build process.
Of course you would have to allow for workings and springs etc..

Apologies if this goes off topic Bill.

I'd take an 11 inch size of this knife Dave .
I like the sunken lockback mechanism also but don't know if it would interfere with a button and spring mechanism.

Thanks for offering this Dave,i hope your well mate.
