Well I finished it, so here it is.
Jerry Rados Turkish Damascus and a killer pair of black lip pearl. There are a couple of firsts for me on this one this was the first time I made a flush button over the pivot point on something this thin, 93 thousands is not a lot of room to work with. Secondly this was also the first time hiding both the bolster screws and the pivot screw on a knife this thin. This was a tough knife to photograph.

The button covers the pivot screw on one side and on the other it's just,,,hiding.

I modified socket head screws for the scales, gold plated them, then set rubies into them,
I had to modify a screw driver to install them. they are not really that color it's a bit of red-eye effect from the camera.

I got a little carried awy with filework.

The 18K gold signature plate.

The blade is nicely centered when closed.

And the Damascus thumbstud has a black diamond set into it.

One more detail I was unable to photograph is that the kicker spring is also Rados Damascus,
