This beautiful handmade knife has a D2 steel blade with a satin finish and edged on one side. The frame is genuine brass as well as the mounting pins. The lever and bolster is made from white copper. The wood handle have been smoothed and stained for the rich look you see before you. The mechanism is a simple one. When the lever is up, it won’t open. Flip the lever down and it's ready to fire. When you push the lever all the way to the handle, it lifts the stabilizer from the blade, allowing the leaf spring to open the knife-just like a stiletto. The stabilizer locks the blade in the open position. So push the lever down again to unlock and close it. It is quite an ingenious design.Overall Length: 9 Inches.
