My second one just came. This one has brass bolsters, a slightly different blade profile, and the bolsters and bottom of the scales have a different profile.

Thanks Thom!

I am #10 haha...
I bought the first one off of Pat, he already had it finished. I bought the second off of a guy on a knife forum, and the third form another knife dealer, it comes Wednesday. My actual personal custom from Pat will be several months away, for that I am #10. I just needed these to hold me over. :)

I got really lucky to find 3 for sale that close together.

Where did you find the 3? I must not know of those sites, cause I'm always looking.

Just googling like crazy. And hunting on random knife forums and websites. It was a combo of luck and persistence.

Super nice pair you've found Jay! When confronted with the Nickel/Silver or Brass decision, I often go for Nickel/Silver. But, I like the way Pat Havlin combined the Brass bolsters with the Nickel/Silver button and safety. It looks really good. I always second guess my choice between the 2 materials.

Congrats. Waiting to see #3. I can't conceive of it being a disappointment. It would be like the sun coming up in the west.
