Wow Gary, the Fossilized Florida Misquito Tusk scales really add some character and good look to this pocket knife. Well done! I hope to see it finished

Very nice. Someone is going to be lucky to own that knife.

Thank you Julio, Keith!

It's going to be very nice. I really like the handles. Gosh, it's taken more time then I'd like, but I have detailed it nicely. The blade runs on the machined raised Trunnion Pads as in previous best class folders. I chose to alter the construction by having the handle scales attach via Stainless Steel Machine screws. The knife frame, itself; is independent of the scales. With a full side cover scale, I thought it was more visually balanced with the screw placement, over the rivet pattern.

I'll make other points when I finish it. The blade is complete, polished, logo engraved. Minor details and assembly. But there is always something that comes up when you try to complete something to the clock. Seldom works. Regrets are frequent if you push it.

In truth, this Cursed Early Darkness is kicking my psychic buttstock. I hate it with a passion. WHY can't we correct this nonsence. I know this is THE correct time .... but if we could come up with Daylight Savings for the War effort ... why can't we avoid this depressing darkness at 5 pm. Who wants to live in the dark!

From the looks of it, this will feel really nice in the hand. I like the profile of the handle scales, they just look "right".
