9 1/8” open

Can be completed as a 97 or 97A. The prep for the A version has been made. Point being if anyone “Had an Aversion to the A version” then it’s possible to change the 97A to a 97, but the change can’t go in the other direction. The hardware hasn’t been built in.



The Scales are “Florida Fossil Saber Toothed Butterfly Wing”. Frame is Hard Anodized, Dyed, Sealed, Glass Beaded Aluminum.



Blade may be completed as Glass Beaded or my Leather Wheel Crocus Polish.

It’s a fine knife. If someone would like to participate in the finish of their knife, please use the PM system above right at the top of the page. I’m “barnespneumatic” in the listings there. Or speak here on the thread. The price will be affected by the details of the finish. I can’t catalog that til I know what you might like. Let’s try this. I hope you like it. I appreciate you reading!

Blade exactly 4” to bolster before establishing the edge

Nobody felt like commenting, so I moved on ...



Glass Beaded blade finish. Sanded, Polished, and heat blued Machine Screw Heads.

This knife has a Signature “Elegant/Serious” look. I’m liking it.

Hello
Gary that is a fine specimen. You really know how to blend the pieces well . I think my wife has a beautiful pendant that you fashioned for her from the same saber tooth butterfly dig site .

Thanks
Kurt

Thank You Kurt,

I need to get back to the dig site now that the weather has changed and the Skeeters have calmed down.

Glad you like the knife. I’m really pleased with how the choices cane together.

Those are some terrifying Jacks! Whoooh!!!

I’ve had a full list of things to accomplish. We shipped packages to three Customers this week. And, I’ve explored the depths of pain as well.

Hope you are great

Gary

Hey Gary,

Blade looks great with the bead blast.Matches the matte finish of the handles.Scales look fantasist.

Great job! Should sell quickly.

Wishing/praying for good health for you.

Pedro

Gary,

Sorry I haven't been around for a while. Between work and vacation, things have been crazy!

For what it's worth, I definitely think you made the right decision. The finishes complement each other quite well!
