Malan Giraffe Bone 11" liner lock Swing Guard

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 Ealy dragon damascus 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 filework 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...
