New Benchmade!

chances are, if it is illegal in California, it is good
(I choose my paint thinners and brake cleaners based on that principle)

anyway here is that knife
it is made by Herbertz in Germany, and the wife bought it for me the first time I took her to Paris, some 15 years ago



the picture does not show how shiny those bolsters are and how deep the design in it really is
the back side of the blade has a wood grain in it



but the real beauty in in the front of the blade
I could not get the light to hit it right and take a picture at the same time, but that eagle looks sharp
(and the tip looks a wee bit dirty)
