This is a handmade one of a kind liner lock folder with sole authorship from R. Hook. The design is influenced by the teachings of ABS mastersmiths Bill Burke and Rick Dunkerley.
The blade is a twisted raindrop pattern steel crafted from 1084 and 15n20 carbon steels. The layer count is approximately 150 layers. The bolsters are the same damascus . The handle material is a lightly colored Ancient Walrus Tusk.
Screws and hardware throughout have been file worked and heat colored for additional detail. Special attention and techniques have been applied to the lock area and the thumb stud has been stippled and modified to enhance then appearance.
Robert's mark can be found on the inside of the liner. He has also made a nice leather pouch for pocket carry.
