John Young / W.E. Ankrom Folding Chute Knife

John Young's very first Folder Venture

• Spalted Hackberry Handle Scales
• Hand-Polished CPM154 Blade
• Hand-Polished Stainless Steel Curved Bolsters
• Hand-Polished Stainless Steel Backstrap
• Hand-Polished Titanium Liners
  
  
• A beautiful knife--even a 1000-times better in person
  
• Action more smooth than "Oiled-Ice" sprinkled with Graphite
  
• It Flips Open (via the Crosscut-headed Thumbstud) with just a gentle flick
  
• For those times you prefer you can manually open the knife and extend your amazement
  
• It Locks Up Solid (both 100% and Far Left Engagement) like a fine watch ticks
• When open the Blade Tang & the Backstrap meet to become As One--Like Ink on a Page
• There is of course No Blade Play
• When you say, the Linerlock releases the Blade Tang as if they are strangers
  
• As the Blade pivots back to it's resting position, one is graced with another moment of perfect
• Then at the point of Final Rest (closed) the there is a gentle click "goodbye"....
• Specs: 3 1/4" Blade; 7 5/8" OAL
• Condition: Mint Condition from John's Lottery at the 2011 Plaza Knife show
