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.

Thanks!

I’m usually a nickel/silver guy myself. It’s a nice change of pace.

Here’s the last PLP I was waiting on. It’s an 8.5” wasp body stiletto, with fossil bone scales.

I put it next to my new little Walt’s Classic 9” cocobolo for a size comparison.

My favorite one yet, though they're all drool-inducing. Love that wasp-body with the ancient bone! B E A U T I F U L ! :shock:

haven't been here in so long I forgot my password!
Hopefully I have reset it properly, and can stop stop in from time to time.
Glad you like the knife so well Jay and everyone else too.

No one (name a custom builder!), not a soul can out do Pat on an Italian style Picklock. Period! Great score, man! I miss my PLP 13" square button. He once told me his favorite to build was a Frosolone style, and that his favorite material to work with was Ivory. But like yourself, I prefer a sexy looking cow horn.
Beautiful knife! And Awesome work, brother Pat!
All the best,
