Rick Genovese - Tuxedo Art Dagger (Auto)

This is a Tuxedo model from Rick Genovese, this model, the Tuxedo, is a homage to a similar style model by the late great Warren Osborne. I specifically asked Rick to do this build and, IMHO, it came out great! Rick is one of the top Art Knife makers on the scene today. This automatic opening lock-back folder features a Damasteel blade with 5 Rose Gold dots along the fuller groove, the frame is 416 stainless with Black Edwards Jade inlays (Black Edwards Jade provides the purest black coloring and is rare as the only known deposit has been mined out), Black Lip Pearl inlays are nestled between the Black Jade, with decorative Rose Gold Dots inlayed within the Black Lip (they kind of look like buttons on a tuxedo shirt), and there is a Rose Gold lock as well as a Rose Gold bail. This knife is new, direct from Rick and it looks great as is or it will provide a nice canvass for engraving.
