Elegant knife, Sebenza-like in its appearance..

That's very nice looking piece, I'd like to see other pics of the thumb stud cutout, from that angle it looks pretty uncomfortable with that point sticking down.

That is a beautiful show piece friend. I have not seen that makers work before, but it appears to be one of the most elegant integrals I have seen.

Is the thumbstud uncomfortably sharp...?

The thumbstud isn't too bad at all. It is radiused too giving it a better feel than the normal slanted studs. I must admit you cannot flick the knife open because of the stud geometry like you can to a Sebenza or a Paramilitary 2. I'll grab some close up pictures when I get home.

That's a pretty nice looking knife, Chris!

Not really my thing, but it is very well finished.
