Wasp waisted 13 with 5/16 inch steel

[Picklokpat]

Here's one a bit more recent. From July '12
This knife is built on 1/16" brass liners The blade and backspring are 5/16" thich D-2 steel. It is quite the hand full and fires like nothing I have built before or since. It should be considered dangerous and handeled as such!

Nothing less than absolutely beautiful.

It's a Fatty for certain. That D-2 is some TUFF Stuff.
Thanks gents, for your compliments.

With something this powerful you must have to "beef-up" the sear to keep the blade held down. What an incredible piece of craftsmanship.

I have often wondered how many Italians have bought your knives

[Picklokpat]

You're sure right Viking. The rocker is 1/8 " O-1. The rocker bracket is .040 steel about 1/2" long. Got the idea of a l-o-n-g bracket from an origonal Frosolone. It keeps the rocker quite stable.
I don't remember selling a knife to an Italian, at least not one that I built.

Old post I know, but had to say how incredible this knife is. Subtle wasp, lowered buttons, swept bayonet - all the master strokes are there, and then those phenomenal scales. This sets the bar for what the Italians should be doing.

Old new post here too, WoW! As far as customs go, in my mind this is the best of the best, the horn is choice too.
