Tim Hancock the Western Bladesmith

Tim Hancock is one of my favorite ABS Bladesmiths.  Tim is also one of the AKI (Art Knife Invitational) makers, he has a multi-year waiting list and has a great book out about him Tim Hancock the Western Bladesmith which features his work plus he is a great guy and makes very cool knives.  Here is a folder that has been in the works for close to two years.  Tim is known for the Spanish Notch that he uses in many of his fixed blade knives and I asked him to incorporate one into this folder.  I also had some input into the size of the gold lock.  Tim and I had many conversations about this knife and it is pretty cool to see the ideas we discussed come to be in this knife.    Love the way this turned out.
