 11 1/4" Super Collider Snake.
 built 2/26/06
Snake has full length "Super Collider" scales that I deeply etched the copper out of and mirror buffed the titanium/niobium bundles. I anodized the bundles a deep cobalt  blue/purple.  The collider metal is almost impossible to get anymore and very expensive. In another year it'll be gone and it'll never be available again...
I ground this blade from a billet of Delbert Ealy "Dragon Skin" damascus .The blade measures 5 1/2" by .555 wide by .133 thick.  mean and lean...it has my dragon head mark ...The bolsters I ground from a billet of Chad Nicholes damascus . The liners are titanium and fully filed using an arrow head pattern.
Following the mirror buff I anodized the liners gold/bronze The release button is sterling silver inlayed with Chinese tourquoise that has a snakeskin pattern to it

 Backspring is 416 SS fully file worked with my "fireants pattern" and mirror polished Safety is nickel silver and "ramped"

This piece is the first I've done using a double action release I designed after working on it for 2 years! I can be opened manually or automatically. It functions very smoothly and requires a less than an 1/8" push.
I ground the leaf-spring using 1095 tool steel and the knife has good power and snaps hard and fast.

Malan Giraffe Bone 11" liner lock Swing Guard completed on 3/30/2006
 
I ground this blade from a billet of Delbert Ealy carbon damascus. The blade measures .138 x .500 x 5 inches and the Rockwell tested at 58..
The guard is ground from Delbery Ealys "dragonskin"and locks in tight, no play or wagging.......
Front bolsters are ground from a small billet of damascus forged by G. Werth.......
liners are mirrored titanium
scales are a rust colored Girrafe bone with a great singular line pattern running the center of the handle on both sides. I use 0-80 screws on all my handles so they can be removed easily if necessary. Nice looking giraffe on this one. I don't run across much with this type of symmetrical checking especially in a color like this.
rectangular release button is nickle silver inlayed with ripple paua and looks like it has a back light built in..
Light file-work on the backspline.
The internal mechanisms are all heat treated 440c .
"Ramped" nickel silver safety. This safety engages and stays that way unlike the typical production knives that are broken in a few weeks. I pay alot of attention to my safetys and spend alot of time on them.
This stiletto is a double action . Blade can be plucked manually or released automatically. The accoustics are nice and it has a good kick to it. The blade sits centered when closed and locks in tight when released. No play in any direction....
