It doesn't get much better- unless you go back to the 1880s-1907 era.

If a Square Button is 5K, I could only imagine what one of these is worth.

These knives are real sleepers. The handles have the feel of a 1911 .45. These models feature beautiful lock plates and some have dagger blades. Heck even the false edge on the bayo blade models have an extra long wedge. I love these.
