“Nino” model folding knife. 145CM clip style blade, 416 stainless steel frame, stag inlays with gold screws, gold escutcheons and removable gold bail. All gold is 14K rose gold.
All knives made under U.S. Patent No. 3,783,509.
Note: The two “nino” modeled knives have engraved screws. This is the only time in my years of making folding knives that I have ever had engraving added to my knives. This could only be accomplished first by me making a holding jig and then having them engraved before placement in the knife. I entrusted this to the services of master engraver, Tim George.
