Lerch Custom Knives is best known for its unique patented opening mechanisms and knives using the finest materials available. Matthew Lerch does all of the knife-making for his company, while his wife Mary Jo does the file work. Engraving is outsourced to the best available engravers in their respective specialties. This specific knife has a 4" long dagger-style Mike Norris Stainless Damascus blade and frame with gold inlay and bulino engraving by Firearm Engraver's Guild of America Master Engraver Brian Hochstrat in an art nouveau style featuring a pin-up girl on either side of the handle in her own vignette. This knife is "double action" meaning that it is both a folder and an automatic; it can be switched between the two by putting a credit card in the liner and pushing on the mainspring. CONDITION: Excellent+, near mint, with virtually all finishes remaining. The mechanism works in both automatic and manual modes and locks tightly.
