Blade: ATS-34 with hand satin finish Blade Length: 3"
Handle: Fossil Coral from Indonesia Handle Length: 4 3/16"
Liner & Bolster: 6AL4v titanium liner with Rain drop Mokume by Devin Thomas Class: Custom Inlay Folders
Lock: Liner Lock Item Number: 334-0002
 

Notes:  Another classic folder with a rare handle material. Coral has been used but this is a rare type with small flowers in it which I have only seen form Mel. Nice browns and tans in the coral so does have nice color!

Both sides are well matched and it looks good with the mokume. Mokume is copper, nickel, silver, and brass made into a damascus slab then used for eth bolster. The liners are titanium with a gold anodized finish. The blade is hand rubbed so has a satin finish. This one again is a rare handle so a little different. Mel's folder have the main pins hidden under the bolster so helps to give a clean look. Nice knife!
