This "Darth Vader" linerlock automatic from Mark is perhaps the most perfectly named knife I have seen. It measures 7 5/8" open, 4 1/4" closed, and has a 3 3/8" blade length. The contrasting patterns of the hot blued damascus blade and handle are, quite simply, stunning, and Mark has centered the designs perfectly. The handles are extensively carved as is the release lever which, though raised, seems to almost dissappear in the flow of the knife. The inlaid stainless steel linerlock is heat colored and fileworked. The hot blued damascus backspacer is carved and twisted gold wire wrapped on the outside, fileworked on the inside, and terminates in a carved and pointed skullcrusher. There is a ruby set in gold on each side of the pivot. This is an awesome knife, and it really has to be seen to be truly appreciated.
