This exceptional folder by my good friend Mike Zscherny follows in the line of his exquisite artistic workmanship with true asthetic radiance and top notch craftsmanship. The stunning black lip pearl scales are painstakingly stippled to bring out even more iridescent light bending flash. This knife also has rich blue anodized, stippled and fileworked titanium liners as well as fileworked, stippled black lip pearl inlaid damascus backspacer. Add to that gold screws, a solid gold thumbstud with inlaid white diamond; and you have a fantastic art piece. Now, if you look at the price, I am sure you will be convinced that Mike makes a terrific value in a handmade art knife. When it comes to eye catching elegance and top notch craftsmanship, Mike's knives leave nothing to be desired.
