Lastly, my only fully customized Herman Williams knife. Guess which brand it is? I'm pretty predictable when it comes to that.

The knife is vintage but I'm not so sure about the handles. But non the less the handles are gnarly.

Very fine looking slabs on that one. The Heritage shield is a nice touch.
Not at all a fan of the blade 'swirl' treatment however.
You should take a shot of the spine to show the file work ...

Thanks! I like the "jeweled" blade treatment on this particular knife because it puts the "fully" in "fully customized". They look totally different in person. Jeweled blades shine like a mirror from every viewing angle like they are covered in gemstones not scratches.

I posted more pics here: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=62924&p=745334&hil ... ms#p745312
