<p>I can't believe that it has been 2 years since I added another of Alan's knives. I guess I was waiting to find one that filled a void in the collection. Here's the new one, a gent's liner lock outfitted with Sambar stag, a 2.9375" blade from Alan's "cat's claw" Damascus, and Chad Nichols mosaic Damascus for the bolsters.…</p>

<p>I'm not picky...any Alan Davis knife will be just fine. You do remember I like Halloween too, right. We talked about this before! :-D</p>
<p>You have a most handsome Davis collection...well done you!</p>

<p>Dennis, even for Alan that is just extraordinary. Wow!! Double wow!! I just love not just the mammoth (though it is exceptional!) but also how the bolsters and blade integrate almost as if they are one. Wow wow wow! Would you mind if I asked him to do something similar for me??</p>

<p>Here's another new Davis. Arrived the beginning of last week ... but getting half decent pictures of it turned out to be a challenge. This is mainly due to the fact that Alan gave the smooth, brown mammoth bark a super high polish. Very hard to capture the depth in the Mammoth under bright lighting without the inevitable reflections! So, had to struggle with multiple diffusers to eliminate them. Just wish I had more hands!! Anyway, this is a great looking gent's knife with a 2.875"…</p>

Anyway, this is a great looking gent's knife with a 2.875" blade and bolsters made from a billet of Steve Standish's mosaic Damasic. Great package that fits very well in hand.</p>

<p>And .... here's what I mean about those blasted reflections without using additional light diffusers .... even when I tried to position the knife on an angle away from the direct lighting.</p>
