Comments: There are lots of interesting things happening in this lovely knife by Jim Minnick. It opens and closes smoothly and effortlessly, while the hollow-ground blade and bolsters are of deeply etched and blued mosaic Damascus by Robert Eggerling.

The liners are of purple anodized titanium, which provides an excellent contrast to the perfectly matched Antique Tortoise scales fully trimmed with solid gold pique work.

The back spacer is artfully filed in an unusually attractive pattern and then hot blued. As a final touch the Damascus release bar is topped with a diamond and Tortoise inlay. Another Jim Minnick winner!

By the way - this is the finest example of this model we have ever seen!
