It's a kind of old school man's size Gentleman's Hunter, Lockback/DA auto with a (discreet) bolster release auto mechanism
Over all 220mm (8 1/2") , N690 blade and hardware,14260 carbon steel springs,stainless body,bronze,stag inserts ,Midnight Blue Sapphires ,pattern stippled and anodized stainless liners,runs on bronze bushing and copper washers,zero play,nice walk and talk,locks like a Swiss wault and in the auto mode shoots like a rocket
It also has a removable clip- couldn't decide whether to go clip or no clip,as some people have to have them,while some don't really care for them ...so I went the middle way,and made the clip removable,in a way that there's virtually no trace of it,once removed (if you belong to the later group)...even made a little custom tool for the job
