This striking auto has a 3 3/16" blade. Both blade and bolster are made from Ealy damascus steel. Handle scales are a dramatic joining of creamy white elephant ivory and snakewood. The ivory and snakewood scales have an inlaid disc of abalone between them. The anodized titanium ball has two functions in this new style auto. It releases the blade when it is closed and also unlocks the blade when it is in the open position. The one piece spring cannot come out nor can it loosen. No filework. Price is $1,200
