Comments: Many of you are already familiar with the stunning work of Swedish smith Johan Gustafsson, and those who aren't might want to check out his chapter in the recent David Darom book on some of the world's best folding knife makers. Johan's work is a feast for the eyes and he uses a variety of Swedish tool steels to produce his spectacular work as they take to heat coloring especially well.
This clip-point has geometric images on the blade and bolsters nicely complimented by an excellent set of presentation-grade fossil Blue Coral scales. The blade and heat colored titanium liners have matching back filing and the spacer is made of Damascus as well. Gold plated screws and a Damascus thumb-stud complete this sophisticated and elegant package. It's easy to see why Johan Gustafsson is one of the best!
