This knife represents the work of two artists at the very top of their profession. Scott's patented button lock dagger with interframe Lapis and integral mother of pearl inlays is awesome. It measures 6 7/8" open, 3 7/8" closed, and has a 3" finely rubbed satin blade. Ray Cover Jr's depiction of Merlin is equally stunning, and makes this knife stand out as one of the finest engraved pieces I have ever seen. There is a generous amount of gold, and every aspect of the engraving is flawless. A terrific centerpiece for any collection.
