:shock: WOW :shock: Love the saphire, nice touch.
If I may put forth a slice of personal philosphy, I feel that man has ruled this world as a stumbling demented child king long enough...

I am by no means any kind of a knife expert, I collect a few here and there, i know what I like and what i dont . I have to say I really like this knife, it's a great piece of work, in art as well as form and finish. exceptional piece.
