This project was done for a collector in Texas.

Two folders exactly the same except for the engraving.  I engraved the Fleur-de- Lis on the top folder and David Drake did the fine English scroll on the lower knife.  They have a blade of 52100 bearing steel, 3 1/2″ long, 8 1/2 overall open, bolster, Water Buffalo handles with gold screws, and gold anodized titanium liner that are fully filework in a vine pattern.  The thumb stud is also inlayed with Buffalo horn.
The collector does a lot of bird hunting in the hills of texas and wanted something for protection and backup use.  He had a pair of boots made with a sheath sewn into the top for easy access.
