Hi People!&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

Dale was nice enough to send me pictures of my new (and not even in my hands yet) TKCL 2000 folder.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp You get to see just what I see, and I can't wait to get it in my grubby paws. Should have it today or tommorrow!

Here's the poop .... I got the basic model with the only extra's being Desert Iron wood scale, all the filework and the clip (which Dale also filework! Dale told me he's not a clip guy, so he had to do something to dress up the clip since I insisted on one :-)

George Werth Damascus blade, 3" and 7" opened
Mokume by Robert Budzyn
Desert Iron wood scales
File work on liner and spacer
Anodized liners
Ruby inlay in the thumb stud
Marked TKCL 2000 on the front and 1-20 on the back
Stylized Pocket clip

Here's the pic's

Hi, Dale.
Welcome to the forums. It is amazing how far your work has gone in the last few years.

Hi Dale! It's good to have you here at the forums. The knife is a real beauty. We hope you'll join us here on a regular basis.

Welcome Dale, the best compliment I can give to a knife is that I'm carrying it right now! thanks!

Thanks guys. I'll try to get here as much as I can. I don't have that much time to spend on the computer.

Thanks again,

Dale

Good to have you with us, Dale! See you in Atlanta.

Ok quick impressions of this knife. It handles great, it just fits into your hand perfectly and your fingers automaticaly know where to fall around the knife. Rides real low in the pocket, which I really like and the shaped clip has a great wow factor while making the clip seem smaller than it is. the filework still blows me away, I don't know if it's visible in the photo's but the "flats" of the spacer are "stippled" or "nuggeted" it's a great effect. My only complaint is that the knife is hard to close. ;) It's a great size blade length is 3" while a little intimidating shape wise, size wise it's fine.

Yeah, baby - got my e-mail from Dale this past weekend! Got the fixed and the folder, in full dress coming this week!

Did someone say Dale?
