Generally speaking, I am not a fan of multi-blade knives with a lot of fancy filework; however, that Case 88 customized by Michael Prater is a stunningly beautiful work of art :shock: reminiscent of a Sheffield Exhibition Knife. Great addition to your PC (Private Collection), which, BTW, I hope you will share some more photos of as I am certain you're sitting on a veritable "Dragon's Lair" of amazing, never-seen-before, one-of-a-kind knives that need to be seen. After all, it's only fair to share (says the man who has nothing even remotely as gorgeous as that one) ::nod::

Love every one of these, Wow, incredible, doesn't even begin. The ivory is exceptional, the craftsmanship to put it on the knives and re-assemble looking flawless, man that it talent and beauty and art. Absolute treasures. Thanks for sharing. Gorgeous, I could drool hours checking out the character and color, and contour. Fabulous stuff. God blessed those beasts with some beauties.
